Interpreting Effective Field Theories
... interest, the fundamental high-energy theory is not known, but an EFT is, nonetheless, still constructible. One simply begins with the operator expansion (2) and includes all terms consistent with the naturalness constraint and with the symmetries and interactions assumed to be relevant at the given ...

Spinning Strings and Integrable Spin Chains in the AdS/CFT Correspondence Jan Plefka
... one is facing a strong/weak coupling duality, in which strongly coupled gauge fields are described by classical supergravity, and weakly coupled gauge fields correspond to strings propagating in a highly curved background geometry. This insight is certainly fascinating, but at the same time strongly ...

Conformal field theory for inhomogeneous one
... may be incorporated into (4) with a chiral gauge transformation ψR,L → e±iα(x) ψR,L . Here we do not keep track of these phase factors, as they are unimportant for our purposes, and simply discard them; these aspects are discussed in appendix A. From Wick’s theorem, it then follows that the large-sc ...

Parity anomaly and spin transmutation in quantum spin Hall
... Josephson current is carried by Cooper pairs and is 2π periodic in the phase difference applied to the junction. When the junction connects topological superconductors [6–9], the coupling of Majorana bound states across the junction allows a Josephson current to flow by coherent transfer of single e ...

Topological quantum computation

But in between these two dull cases, in two dimensions, a remarkably rich variety of types of particle statistics are possible, so rich that we have far to go before we can g ...

Black-hole/near-horizon-CFT duality and 4 dimensional classical
... In this thesis we accomplish two goals: We construct a two dimensional conformal field theory (CFT), in the form of a Liouville theory, in the near horizon limit for three and four dimensions black holes. The near horizon CFT assumes the two dimensional black hole solutions that were first introduce ...
