Spinning Defects in the O(2N) Model and Virasoro OPE, Casimir, and Blocks - Day 13

Learn about advanced topics in conformal field theory and statistical mechanics through two specialized lectures from the Bootstrap 2025 conference. Explore spinning defects in the O(2N) model with Alex Radcliffe, who examines the mathematical structures and physical properties of these complex systems. Delve into the Virasoro operator product expansion (OPE), Casimir operators, and conformal blocks with Lorenzo Quintavalle, covering fundamental concepts in two-dimensional conformal field theory. Gain insights into cutting-edge research in theoretical physics, including the bootstrap approach to conformal field theories and its applications to critical phenomena and quantum field theory.
