The conformal bootstrap: Theory, numerical techniques, and applications

D Poland, S Rychkov, A Vichi - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2019 - APS
Conformal field theories have been long known to describe the fascinating universal physics
of scale invariant critical points. They describe continuous phase transitions in fluids …

[HTML][HTML] Selected topics in analytic conformal bootstrap: A guided journey

A Bissi, A Sinha, X Zhou - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
This review aims to offer a pedagogical introduction to the analytic conformal bootstrap
program via a journey through selected topics. We review analytic methods which include …

Analyticity in spin in conformal theories

S Caron-Huot - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract Conformal theory correlators are characterized by the spectrum and three-point
functions of local operators. We present a formula which extracts this data as an analytic …

From dS to AdS and back

C Sleight, M Taronna - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We describe in more detail the general relation uncovered in our previous work
between boundary correlators in de Sitter (dS) and in Euclidean anti-de Sitter (EAdS) space …

Snowmass white paper: the double copy and its applications

T Adamo, JJM Carrasco, M Carrillo-González… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
The double copy is, in essence, a map between scattering amplitudes in a broad variety of
familiar field and string theories. In addition to the mathematically rich intrinsic structure, it …

Cosmological collider physics

N Arkani-Hamed, J Maldacena - arXiv preprint arXiv:1503.08043, 2015 - arxiv.org
We study the imprint of new particles on the primordial cosmological fluctuations. New
particles with masses comparable to the Hubble scale produce a distinctive signature on the …

Bootstrapping inflationary correlators in Mellin space

C Sleight, M Taronna - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We develop a Mellin space approach to boundary correlation functions in anti-de
Sitter (AdS) and de Sitter (dS) spaces. Using the Mellin-Barnes representation of correlators …

The analytic bootstrap and AdS superhorizon locality

AL Fitzpatrick, J Kaplan, D Poland… - Journal of High Energy …, 2013 - Springer
A bstract We take an analytic approach to the CFT bootstrap, studying the 4-pt correlators of
d> 2 dimensional CFTs in an Eikonal-type limit, where the conformal cross ratios satisfy …

Bootstrapping mixed correlators in the 3D Ising model

F Kos, D Poland, D Simmons-Duffin - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We study the conformal bootstrap for systems of correlators involving nonidentical
operators. The constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity for such mixed correlators can …

A Mellin space approach to cosmological correlators

C Sleight - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We propose a Mellin space approach to the evaluation of late-time momentum-
space correlation functions of quantum fields in (d+ 1)-dimensional de Sitter space. The …
