Abstract We propose a method to reconstruct smeared spectral functions from two-point correlation functions measured on the Euclidean lattice. An arbitrary smearing function can be considered as long as it is smooth enough to allow an approximation using Chebyshev polynomials. We test the method with numerical lattice data of charmonium correlators. The method provides a framework to compare lattice calculation with experimental data including excited-state contributions without assuming quark–hadron duality.

Static Form

We discuss the extraction of the ground state [Formula: see text] matrix elements from Euclidean lattice correlation functions. The emphasis is on the elimination of excited state contributions. Two typical gauge-field ensembles with lattice spacings 0.075, 0.05 fm and pion masses 330, 270 MeV are used from the O[Formula: see text]-improved CLS 2-flavor simulations and the final state momentum is [Formula: see text] GeV. The b-quark is treated in HQET including the [Formula: see text] corrections. Fits to two-point and three-point correlation functions and suitable ratios including summed ratios are used, yielding consistent results with precision of around 2% which is not limited by the [Formula: see text] corrections but by the dominating static form factors. Excited state contributions are under reasonable control but are the bottleneck towards precision. We do not yet include a specific investigation of multi-hadron contaminations, a gap in the literature which ought to be filled soon.

Based on the diquark configuration, we construct the diquark–antidiquark interpolating tetraquark currents with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which can couple to the scalar and pseudoscalar tetraquark states, respectively, since they are not conserved currents. Then, we investigate their two-point correlation functions including the contributions of the vacuum condensates up to dimension-10 and extract the masses and pole residues of the tetraquark states with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] through the QCD sum rule approach. The predicted masses can be confronted with the experimental data in the future. Moreover, we briefly discuss the possible decay patterns of the tetraquark states.

We investigate the influence of the different vertices of two-point correlation functions in the infrared regime of Yang–Mills theory using a phenomenological description. This regime is studied in Landau-gauge and using perturbation theory within a phenomenological massive model. We perform a one-loop calculation for two-point correlation functions taking into account the different roles of the various interactions in the infrared. Our results show a good agreement with the lattice data.

Abstract We present a method for calculating event shapes in QCD based on correlation functions of conserved currents. The method has been previously applied to the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, but we demonstrate that supersymmetry is not essential. As a proof of concept, we consider the simplest example of a charge-charge correlation at one loop (leading order). We compute the correlation function of four electromagnetic currents and explain in detail the steps needed to extract the event shape from it. The result is compared to the standard amplitude calculation. The explicit four-point correlation function may also be of interest for the CFT community.

Abstract We establish a practical method for the joint analysis of anisotropic galaxy two- and three-point correlation functions (2PCF and 3PCF) on the basis of the decomposition formalism of the 3PCF using tri-polar spherical harmonics. We perform such an analysis with MultiDark Patchy mock catalogues to demonstrate and understand the benefit of the anisotropic 3PCF. We focus on scales above 80 h−1 Mpc, and use information from the shape and the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) signals of the 2PCF and 3PCF. We also apply density field reconstruction to increase the signal-noise ratio of BAO in the 2PCF measurement, but not in the 3PCF measurement. In particular, we study in detail the constraints on the angular diameter distance and the Hubble parameter. We build a model of the bispectrum or 3PCF that includes the nonlinear damping of the BAO signal in redshift space. We carefully account for various uncertainties in our analysis including theoretical models of the 3PCF, window function corrections, biases in estimated parameters from the fiducial values, the number of mock realizations to estimate the covariance matrix, and bin size. The joint analysis of the 2PCF and 3PCF monopole and quadrupole components shows a $30\%$ and $20\%$ improvement in Hubble parameter constraints before and after reconstruction of the 2PCF measurements, respectively, compared to the 2PCF analysis alone. This study clearly shows that the anisotropic 3PCF increases cosmological information from galaxy surveys and encourages further development of the modeling of the 3PCF on smaller scales than we consider.

Abstract We compute thermal 2-point correlation functions in the black brane AdS5 background dual to 4d CFT’s at finite temperature for operators of large scaling dimension. We find a formula that matches the expected structure of the OPE. It exhibits an exponentiation property, whose origin we explain. We also compute the first correction to the two-point function due to graviton emission, which encodes the proper time from the event horizon to the black hole singularity.

Abstract Based on the spectrum identified in our earlier work [1], we numerically solve the bootstrap to determine four-point correlation functions of the geometrical connectivities in the Q-state Potts model. Crucial in our approach is the existence of “interchiral conformal blocks”, which arise from the degeneracy of fields with conformal weight hr,1, with r ∈ ℕ*, and are related to the underlying presence of the “interchiral algebra” introduced in [2]. We also find evidence for the existence of “renormalized” recursions, replacing those that follow from the degeneracy of the field $$ {\Phi}_{12}^D $$ Φ 12 D in Liouville theory, and obtain the first few such recursions in closed form. This hints at the possibility of the full analytical determination of correlation functions in this model.

Abstract This paper is designed to be a practical tool for constructing and investigating two-point correlation functions in defect conformal field theory, directly in physical space, between any two bulk primaries or between a bulk primary and a defect primary, with arbitrary spin. Although geometrically elegant and ultimately a more powerful approach, the embedding space formalism gets rather cumbersome when dealing with mixed symmetry tensors, especially in the projection to physical space. The results in this paper provide an alternative method for studying two-point correlation functions for a generic d-dimensional conformal field theory with a flat p-dimensional defect and d − p = q co-dimensions. We tabulate some examples of correlation functions involving a conserved current, an energy momentum tensor and a Maxwell field strength, while analysing the constraints arising from conservation and the equations of motion. A method for obtaining bulk-to-defect correlators is also explained. Some explicit examples are considered: free scalar theory on ℝp× (ℝq/ℤ2) and a free four dimensional Maxwell theory on a wedge.
