Exact methods for defects in conformal field theory
No full textThe defect operators admitted by a given quantum field theory (QFT) contain crucial information. E.g in 4d gauge theories some defects play the role of order parameters, classifying phases of the theory. Defects are also omnipresent in real-world laboratories. E.g. real systems typically have impurities and defects, which may change their properties. Since QFT can be used to describe such systems in the continuum limit, it is essential to systematically understand defects in QFT. This thesis explores defects in d-dimensional conformal field theories (CFT). CFTs arise naturally at fixed points of renormalisation group (RG) flows and describe real physical systems at criticality. We focus on p-dimensional defects, with p ≤ d-1, that preserve some of the system's conformal invariance. Conformal defects give rise to defect-localised contributions to the CFT's Weyl anomaly. Their coefficients are often called defect central charges. They control many physical observables, and obey interesting bounds, constraints, and relations, partially characterising the defect. We report novel and original results about conformal defects and their central charges across dimensions. Our results are exact and apply to large classes of defects. Firstly, we determine the form of the defect Weyl anomaly of a p=4 conformal defect in a CFT of arbitrary co-dimension q=d-4. We show how some of the new defect central charges appear in physical observables, and discuss bounds that they need to obey. We then illustrate these results with a set of simple, yet non-trivial, examples of defects in free CFTs. Using existing methods available in free field theories, we compute various correlation functions exactly for arbitrary p, and demonstrate how to extract defect central charges when p=2 and p=4. Moreover, we study novel defect RG flows which are found to obey monotonicity theorems. Finally, we develop novel techniques to compute central charges for superconformal defects in a large class of interacting superconformal field theories. Our methods rely on supersymmetric localisation, and thus are non-perturbative in the coupling constants. We illustrate our techniques in numerous examples
ADAM SMITH'S OPTIMISTIC TELEOLOGICAL VIEW OF HISTORY
No full textAdam Smith's four-stage theory provides the framework for his writings on history. The fourth stage is the commercial epoch; the culmination of history in this stage is a key component in the conventional interpretation of Adam Smith as a prophet of commercialism. In two historical case studies Smith shows the capacity of commercial society to regenerate itself. This potent capacity suggests that commercial society is inevitable. At a certain point in time it also overcomes the major obstacles to its permanence. Smith's philosophy of history anticipates the end of history views of Kant and Hegel.Political Economy,

How Might Adam Smith Pay Professors Today?
No full textAdam Smith’s proposal for paying professors was intended to induce increased faculty knowledge. If students have imperfect information about what they learn, and universities can only imperfectly measure the input of faculty time in student learning, publications may be used to measure faculty knowledge. If professors’ ability to publish is positively related to their ability to produce student learning, which universities can imperfectly measure, publications may be necessary to attract more able professors. Since research signals faculty knowledge, schools that do not value publications per se could require higher publication standards and pay higher wages than schools that value only publications.

ADAM SMITH'S VIEW OF HISTORY: CONSISTENT OR PARADOXICAL?
No full textThe conventional interpretation of Adam Smith is that he is a prophet of commercialism. The liberal capitalist reading of Smith is consistent with the view that history culminates in commercial society. The first part of the article develops this optimistic interpretation of Smith's view of history. Smith implies that commercial society is the end of history because 1) it supplies the ends of nature that he identifies; 2) it is inevitable; and 3) it is permanent. The second part of the article shows that Smith has some dark moments in his writings where he seems to reject completely such teleological notions. In this more civic humanist mood he confesses that commercial society does not supply the ends of nature, nor is it inevitable, nor is it permanent. Both views exist in Smith and the commentator is forced to choose between passages in Smith's work in order to support a particular interpretation of the former's view of history.Political Economy,
