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 …

The cosmological bootstrap: weight-shifting operators and scalar seeds

D Baumann, CD Pueyo, A Joyce, H Lee… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract A key insight of the bootstrap approach to cosmological correlations is the fact that
all correlators of slow-roll inflation can be reduced to a unique building block—the four-point …

A spacetime derivation of the Lorentzian OPE inversion formula

D Simmons-Duffin, D Stanford, E Witten - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract Caron-Huot has recently given an interesting formula that determines OPE data in
a conformal field theory in terms of a weighted integral of the four-point function over a …

Defects in conformal field theory

M Billo, V Gonçalves, E Lauria, M Meineri - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We discuss consequences of the breaking of conformal symmetry by a flat or
spherical extended operator. We adapt the embedding formalism to the study of correlation …

Universal asymptotics for high energy CFT data

N Benjamin, J Lee, H Ooguri… - Journal of High Energy …, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Equilibrium finite temperature observables of a CFT can be described by a local
effective action for background fields—a “thermal effective action”. This effective action …

Complexity for conformal field theories in general dimensions

N Chagnet, S Chapman, J de Boer, C Zukowski - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
We study circuit complexity for conformal field theory states in an arbitrary number of
dimensions. Our circuits start from a primary state and move along a unitary representation …

Weight shifting operators and conformal blocks

D Karateev, P Kravchuk, D Simmons-Duffin - Journal of High Energy …, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We introduce a large class of conformally-covariant differential operators and a
crossing equation that they obey. Together, these tools dramatically simplify calculations …

Celestial diamonds: conformal multiplets in celestial CFT

S Pasterski, A Puhm, E Trevisani - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We examine the structure of global conformal multiplets in 2D celestial CFT. For a
4D bulk theory containing massless particles of spin s=\(\left\{0,\frac {1}{2}, 1,\frac {3}{2} …
