We study two nonlinear extensions of the nonlocal R\,\Box^{-2}R gravity theory. We extend this theory in two different ways suggested by conformal symmetry, either replacing \Box^{-...

Some relations between families of two-character CFTs are explained using a slightly generalised coset construction, and the underlying theories (whose existence was only conjectured based on...

This is a survey of our program of perturbative quantization of gauge theories on manifolds with boundary compatible with cutting/pasting and with gauge symmetry treated by means of a...

We develop the Clebsch variational method of deriving stochastic differential equations whose solutions follow the flow of a stochastic nonlinear Lie algebra operation on a configuration...

This is a writeup of lectures given at the EPFL Lausanne in the fall of 2012. The topics covered: physical foundations of conformal symmetry, conformal kinematics, radial quantization and the...

We consider families of non-colliding random walks above a hard wall, which are subject to a self-potential of tilted area type. We view such ensembles as effective models for the level lines of...

These notes provide an introduction to the local semicircle law from random matrix theory, as well as some of its applications. We focus on Wigner matrices, Hermitian random matrices with...

This papers deals with connections between quantum anomalies and transformations of Feynman pseudo-measures. Mathematical objects related to the notion of the volume element in an infinite-...

We consider the membrane model, that is the centered Gaussian field on Zd whose covariance matrix is given by the inverse of the discrete Bilaplacian. We impose a δ- pinning...

The symmetries of string theory on {\rm AdS}_3 \times {\rm S}^3 \times \mathbb{T}^4 at the dual of the symmetric product orbifold point are described by a so-called Higher Spin Square (...

Recent work has shown that modifications of General Relativity based on the addition of a non-local term R\,\Box^{-2}R produce a dynamical model of dark energy, which is cosmologically viable...

Correlation functions of ferromagnetic spin systems satisfying a Lee-Yang property are studied. It is shown that, for classical systems in a non-vanishing uniform external magnetic field h...
