In this article we explore a certain definition of alternate quantization for the critical O(N) model. We elaborate on a prescription to evaluate the Renyi entropy of alternately quantized critical O(N) model. We show that there exists new saddles of the q-Renyi free energy functional corresponding to putting certain combinations of the Kaluza-Klein modes into alternate quantization. This leads us to an analysis of trying to determine the true state of the theory by trying to ascertain the global minima among these saddle points.

We present a study of the scaling behavior of the R{e}nyi entanglement entropy (REE) in SU($N$) spin chain Hamiltonians, in which all the spins transform under the fundamental representation. These SU($N$) spin chains are known to be quantum critical and described by a well known Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) non-linear sigma model in the continuum limit. Numerical results from our lattice Hamiltonian are obtained using stochastic series expansion (SSE) quantum Monte Carlo for both closed and open boundary conditions. As expected for this 1D critical system, the REE shows a logarithmic dependence on the subsystem size with a prefector given by the central charge of the SU($N$) WZW model. We study in detail the sub-leading oscillatory terms in the REE under both periodic and open boundaries. Each oscillatory term is associated with a WZW field and decays as a power law with an exponent proportional to the scaling dimension of the corresponding field. We find that the use of periodic boundaries (where oscillations are less prominent) allows for a better estimate of the central charge, while using open boundaries allows for a better estimate of the scaling dimensions. For completeness we also present numerical data on the thermal R{e}nyi entropy which equally allows for extraction of the central charge.
We compute, using the method of large spin perturbation theory, the anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients of all leading twist operators in the critical $ O(N) $ model, to fourth order in the $ epsilon $-expansion. This is done fully within a bootstrap framework, and generalizes a recent result for the CFT-data of the Wilson-Fisher model. The anomalous dimensions we obtain for the $ O(N) $ singlet operators agree with the literature values, obtained by diagrammatic techniques, while the anomalous dimensions for operators in other representations, as well as all OPE coefficients, are new. From the results for the OPE coefficients, we derive the $ epsilon^4 $ corrections to the central charges $ C_T $ and $ C_J $, which are found to be compatible with the known large $ N $ expansions. Predictions for the central charge in the strongly coupled 3d model, including the 3d Ising model, are made for various values of $ N $, which compare favourably with numerical results and previous predictions.
We determine, for the first time, the scaling dimensions of a family of fixed-charge operators stemming from the critical $O(N)$ model in 4-$epsilon$ dimensions to the leading and next to leading order terms in the charge expansion but to all-orders in the coupling. We test our results to the maximum known order in perturbation theory while determining higher order terms.
We propose a field theoretic framework for calculating the dependence of Renyi entropies on the shape of the entangling surface in a conformal field theory. Our approach rests on regarding the corresponding twist operator as a conformal defect and in particular, we define the displacement operator which implements small local deformations of the entangling surface. We identify a simple constraint between the coefficient defining the two-point function of the displacement operator and the conformal weight of the twist operator, which consolidates a number of distinct conjectures on the shape dependence of the Renyi entropy. As an example, using this approach, we examine a conjecture regarding the universal coefficient associated with a conical singularity in the entangling surface for CFTs in any number of spacetime dimensions. We also provide a general formula for the second order variation of the Renyi entropy arising from small deformations of a spherical entangling surface, extending Mezeis results for the entanglement entropy.
We compute the $O(1/N^3)$ correction to the critical exponent $eta$ in the chiral XY or chiral Gross-Neveu model in $d$-dimensions. As the leading order vertex anomalous dimension vanishes, the direct application of the large $N$ conformal bootstrap formalism is not immediately possible. To circumvent this we consider the more general Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model for a general non-abelian Lie group. Taking the abelian limit of the exponents of this model produces those of the chiral XY model. Subsequently we provide improved estimates for $eta$ in the three dimensional chiral XY model for various values of $N$.
