These following seminars are held jointly with the groups of Prof. Dr. Forini, Prof. Dr. Hohm and  Prof. Dr. Staudacher and the junior research group of Dr. Nichol Furey.

  • Quantum Field Theory and Gravity, Mondays @ 13:00 s.t. in room 1.221
  • Fields and Strings Seminar, Wednesdays @ 13:30 s.t. in room 1.221
  • Quantenfeldtheorie und Mathematische Physik Seminar, Fridays @ 14:00 s.t. in room 1.221

The seminar 1.221 room is located in the IRIS Building, Zum Großen Windkanal 2, House 1, 2nd floor.

Also note our monthly Quantum Field Theory colloquium on Fridays @ 13.30 (sometimes exceptionally also on Wednesdays) together with the working groups in high energy theory and mathematical physics.

If you want to enjoy coffee not only after the talks join our QFT coffee club!

NOTE: All our seminars are hybrid and will be interactively broadcasted via zoom. Please use your full name and turn on your camera whilst joining, in particular if you ask a question. If you are interested in attending the seminar remotely, you can send an e-mail with subject line “subscribe qft-seminars-physics” to sympa@lists.hu-beriln.de. You should then start receiving announcements containing all necessary information.

QFT Colloquium: Prof. Elli Pomoni


Fri 20/06/2025    

14:00 - 15:30

Colloquium, part of the RTG2575 QFT-Colloquia series Room 1.221, at 14:00 Speaker: Elli Pomoni, DESY Hamburg Title: Bootstrapping Thermal CFTs Abstract: In this talk, we explore the structure and solution of thermal conformal field theories (CFTs) using the conformal bootstrap approach. At finite temperature, the role of crossing symmetry is played by the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) condition, which imposes periodicity on thermal correlation functions. We present two methods for solving the resulting KMS sum rules for thermal one-point functions, assuming knowledge of the zero-temperature CFT data. The first is a numerical method that incorporates the asymptotic operator product expansion density of heavy operators, derived. The second is an analytical approach based on dispersion relations. We benchmark both methods against known results in free theories and two-dimensional CFTs, and subsequently apply them to O(N) models for N=1,2,3, as well as in the large-N limit.
