CFTs on Riemann Surfaces of genus $g\geq 1$

Abstract

$N$-point functions of holomorphic fields in conformal field theories can be calculated by methods from algebraic geometry. We establish explicit formulas for the 2-point function of the Virasoro field on hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces of genus $g\geq 1$. Virasoro $N$-point functions for higher $N$ are obtained inductively, and we show that they have a nice graph representation. We discuss the 3-point function with application to the $(2,5)$ minimal model.

Hilbert metric and quasiconformal mappings

We prove a functional identity between the Hilbert metric and the visual angle metric in the unit disk. The proof utilizes the Poincaré hyperbolic metric in terms of which both metrics can be expressed. This identity then yields sharp distortion results for quasiregular mappings and analytic functions, expressed in terms of the Hilbert metric. We also prove that Hilbert circles are, in fact, Euclidean ellipses. The proof makes use of computer algebra methods. In particular, Gröbner bases are used.

Cyclicity in Poletsky-Stessin Weighted Bergman Spaces

We study the cyclicity of polynomials in Poletsky-Stessin weighted Bergman spaces on various domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$, including the unit ball, the bidisk, and the complex ellipsoid. To this end, we introduce a natural extension of the parameter range for Poletsky-Stessin weighted Bergman spaces on complete Reinhardt domains, yielding a family of spaces that resemble Dirichlet-type spaces on the unit ball. We highlight the differences in the cyclicity behavior of polynomials in these spaces on the bidisk compared to those studied by Bénéteau et al. Finally, we propose several open problems concerning the structure of cyclic polynomials in these spaces.

Schwarz-contractivity of the Poisson operator

We say that the Poisson operator $P_r$ is Schwarz-contractive from a space $X$ to a space $Y$ if $\|P_r\|_{X\to Y}\le r$ holds for all $0<r<1$. The classical Schwarz lemma is the case $H^\infty_0\to H^\infty$, the subscript indicating zero mean. We are concerned with the non-holomorphic case $L^\infty_0 \to L^p$. For real functions Schwarz-contractivity holds up to the sharp exponent $p_{\mathbb R}=4.109\ldots$. For complex functions we prove it for $p\le 3$ and conjecture that the critical exponent is $4$.
