Abstract: We study large-spin operators in conformal field theories (CFTs) in spacetime dimensions d>2 by placing the theory on appropriate pp-wave backgrounds. From thermodynamics on these spacetimes, we obtain strong constraints on the asymptotic...

Abstract: Heavy quarks propagating through quark-gluon plasma provide a unique, experimentally accessible opportunity to study the real-time dynamics of QCD in its strongly coupled regime. In the infinite heavy quark mass limit, the momentum change...

Abstract: Conformal field theories are defined by the CFT data: the spectrum of primary operator dimensions and OPE coefficients. Over the last decade, our knowledge of CFT data has accelerated at many frontiers. This has been facilitated by the...
