Classical conformal blocks appear in the limit c->infinity of the Virasoro conformal blocks. Classical conformal blocks have close relationship to monodromy of the second order differential equations with regular singularities. I will discuss...

I will discuss how to compute Entanglement Renyi Entropies for two dimensional holographic CFTs using AdS_3 handlebody solutions. Some simplifying assumptions are made. The answer I find is consistent with the Ryu-Takayanagi prediction for...

The electron edm is an important constraint on extensions to the Standard Model such as supersymmetric models. ACME is closing in on a more sensitive measurement of this moment, profiting from the huge electric field within the ThO molecule.

I will discus quantum field theory operators supported on 'complete' light cones, which are a certain completion of ordinary light cones that I will define in the talk. I will show, by a simple conformal transformation, that in CFTs and near-CFTs...

Massless particle states carry integer or half-integer spin about themomentum axis, or "helicity". Lorentz symmetry allows for helicity states to mix under boosts (like massive particle polarizations); such mixing is not understood theoretically and...
