AbstractIn this talk, I will identify degeneracies in the energy spectra of quantum theories that occur at integer values of the continuous parameter N of an analytically continued global O(N) symmetry. I will first present a few examples in the critical O(N) CFT at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point (d=4-epsilon) at the first order of epsilon-expansion. Then I will argue the degeneracies happen for...
