Solving quantum field theories via curved spacetimes
... In a CFT, the most important physical observables are correlation functions of local operators. A two-point correlation function, for example, is a suitable average over all field configurations of a product of operators at two separated points. In a theory of phase transitions, correlation function ...

Decay Properties of Matrix Functions, with Applications to O(N) Methods in Electronic Structure and Beyond
... Motivated by applications in quantum chemistry and solid state physics, we apply general results from approximation theory and matrix analysis to the study of the decay properties of functions of large and sparse Hermitian matrices. Our theory leads to a rigorous proof of the exponential off-diagona ...
