Journal ArticleDOI
Infinite Chiral Symmetry in Four Dimensions

TL;DR: In this article, a new correspondence between four-dimensional conformal field theories with extended supersymmetry and two-dimensional chiral algebras was described, where the meromorphic correlators of the chiral algebra compute correlators in a protected sector of the fourdimensional theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The bootstrap program for boundary CFT d
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity for conformal field theories in the presence of a boundary, with a focus on the Ising model in various dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The (2, 0) superconformal bootstrap
TL;DR: The existence of six-dimensional supersymmetric ''$(2,0)$'' conformal field theories implies many deep, nonperturbative dualities within the landscape of four-and three-dimensional quantum field theories as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time gauge/gravity duality: prescription, renormalization and examples
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive analysis of the prescription they recently put forward for the computation of real-time correlation functions using gauge/gravity duality, valid for any holographic supergravity background and it naturally maps initial and final data in the bulk to initial or density matrices in the field theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
A natural language for AdS/CFT correlators
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Mellin space is the natural home for correlation functions in CFTs with weakly coupled bulk duals, and that these correlators have poles corresponding to an OPE decomposition into left and right sub-correlators.
