Description

I describe a recently discovered correspondence between L-loop conformal ladder graphs in D=2 and D=4 fishnet CFTs, and thermal partition functions of massive free scalars in d=2L+1 dimensions. The correspondence reveals some previously unobserved algebraic and differential relations among the conformal graphs. It also provides a statistical field theory interpretation for the all-loop resummation of the ladder graphs. Other possible implications of the correspondence are also discussed.
