Instability of complex CFTs with operators in the principal series
Abstract We prove the instability of d-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) having in the operator-product expansion of two fundamental fields a primary operator of scaling dimension h = d 2 $$ \frac{d}{2} $$ + i r, with non-vanishing r ∈ ℝ. From an AdS/CFT point of view, this corresponds to...
