Bootstrapping the effect of the twist operator in symmetric orbifold CFTs
In this talk I will discuss recent work on computing effects of the twist operator in symmetric orbifold CFTs. Traditionally, these effects can be understood by using the covering space method where one must use covering maps. More recently, we have developed a method which uses a Bogoliubov ansatz and conformal symmetry to bootstrap these effects. I will present results for the single twist case and discuss extensions to the multi-twist scenario. Zoom link: https://uw-edu-pl.zoom.us/j/92918049449, meeting ID: 929 1804 9449
