Open AccessThe leading trajectory in the 2+1D Ising CFT
We study the scattering of lumps in the 2+1-dimensional Ising CFT, indirectly, by analytically continuing its spectrum using the Lorentzian inversion formula. We find evidence that the intercept of the model i...

Open AccessQuantum Regge trajectories and the Virasoro analytic bootstrap
Every conformal field theory (CFT) above two dimensions contains an infinite set of Regge trajectories of local operators which, at large spin, asymptote to “double-twist” composites with vanishing anomalous d...

Open AccessTunneling decay of false vortices with gravitation
We study the effect of vortices on the tunneling decay of a symmetry-breaking false vacuum in three spacetime dimensions with gravity. The scenario considered is one in which the initial state, rather than bei...
