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...

We consider several aspects of unitary higher-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs). We first study massive deformations that trigger a flow to a gapped phase. Deep inelastic scattering in the gapped phase leads to a convexity property of...
