Dispersion formulas in QFTs, CFTs and holography

Abstract We study momentum space dispersion formulas in general QFTs and their applications for CFT correlation functions.We show, using two independent methods, that QFT dispersion formulas can be written in terms of causal commutators.The first derivation uses analyticity properties of retarded correlators in momentum space.The second derivation

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT): differences in target volumes and improvement in clinically relevant doses to small bowel in rectal carcinoma

Abstract Background A strong dose-volume relationship exists between the amount of small bowel receiving low- to intermediate-doses of radiation and the rates of acute, severe gastrointestinal toxicity, principally diarrhea.There is considerable interest in the application of highly conformal treatment approaches, such as intensity-modulated radiat
