The modular bootstrap program for two-dimensional conformal field theories could be seen as a systematic exploration of the physical consequences of consistency conditions at the elliptic points and at the cusp of their torus partition function. The study at $\tau=i$, the elliptic point stabilized by the modular inversion $S$, was initiated in 2009 by Hellerman, who found a general upper...
We discuss some recent applications of non-equilibrium statistical-mechanics theorems in numerical simulations of lattice gauge theories.
We investigate the complex spectrum of the Dirac operator in 2+1-flavor
QCD, at nonzero temperature and isospin chemical potential, using the
extension of the Banks-Casher relation to the case of Complex Dirac
eigenvalues (derived for the zero-temperature, high-density limits of
QCD at nonzero isospin chemical potential), as a prescription to obtain
information on the BCS gap from the 2d...
In this talk I will present recent results showing how the high-temperature phase of the compact U(1) gauge theory without matter fields in 2+1 spacetime dimensions can be studied in terms of conformal-field-theory predictions for the low-temperature phase of the XY model in 2 dimensions. The conformally-invariant analytical description of the XY model is compared with numerical results...
