blocks_3d: Software for general 3d conformal blocks
Rajeev S. Erramilli, Luca V. Iliesiu, Petr Kravchuk +3
We introduce the software blocks_3d for computing four-point conformal blocks of operators with arbitrary Lorentz representations in 3d CFTs. It uses Zamolodchikov-like recursion r…
Bootstrapping Heisenberg Magnets and their Cubic Instability
Shai M. Chester, Walter Landry, Junyu Liu +4
We study the critical model using the numerical conformal bootstrap. In particular, we use a recently developed cutting-surface algorithm to efficiently map out the allowed…
Carving out OPE space and precise model critical exponents
Shai M. Chester, Walter Landry, Junyu Liu +4
We develop new tools for isolating CFTs using the numerical bootstrap. A "cutting surface" algorithm for scanning OPE coefficients makes it possible to find islands in high-dimensi…
Scaling the semidefinite program solver SDPB
Walter Landry, David Simmons-Duffin
We present enhancements to SDPB, an open source, parallelized, arbitrary precision semidefinite program solver designed for the conformal bootstrap. The main enhancement is signifi…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
