• Abstract: Correlators of unitary quantum field theories in Lorentzian signature obey certain analyticity and positivity properties. For interacting unitary CFTs in more than two dimensions, we show that these properties impose general constraints on families of minimal twist operators that appear in the OPEs of primary operators. In particular, we rederive and extend the convexity theorem which states that for the family of minimal twist operators with even spins appearing in the reflection-symmetric OPE of any scalar primary, twist must be a monotonically increasing convex function of the spin. Our argument is completely non-perturbative and it also applies to the OPE of nonidentical scalar primaries in unitary CFTs, constraining the twist of spinning operators appearing in the OPE. Finally, we argue that the same methods also impose constraints on the Regge behavior of certain CFT correlators.

  The Chambolle-Pock algorithm (CPA) has gained popularity over the last decade due to its success in solving large-scale convex structured problems. This work extends its convergence analysis for problems with varying degrees of (non)monotonicity, quantified through a so-called weak Minty condition on the associated primal-dual operator.

  We study bipartite unitary operators which stay invariant under the local actions of diagonal unitary and orthogonal groups. As a first application, we construct large new families of dual unitary gates in arbitrary finite dimensions. Our scrutiny reveals that these operators can be used to simulate any bipartite unitary gate via local operations and classical communication.

  We consider operator growth for generic large-N gauge theories at finite temperature. The algebra of these modes allows for a simple analysis of the operators with whom the initial operator mixes over time. We show all these approaches have a natural formulation in terms of the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal (GNS) construction.

We also show that DNTs emerge naturally from a particular instance of a joint measurability problem, remarking its relevance in general operator theory.
