Conformal Bootstrap in Three Dimensions?
Slava Rychkov
We discuss an idea of how 3D critical exponents can be determined by Conformal Field Theory techniques.
Spinning Conformal Blocks
Miguel S. Costa, Joao Penedones, David Poland +1
For conformal field theories in arbitrary dimensions, we introduce a method to derive the conformal blocks corresponding to the exchange of a traceless symmetric tensor appearing i…
Spinning Conformal Correlators
Miguel S. Costa, Joao Penedones, David Poland +1
We develop the embedding formalism for conformal field theories, aimed at doing computations with symmetric traceless operators of arbitrary spin. We use an index-free notation whe…
What Maxwell Theory in D<>4 teaches us about scale and conformal invariance
Sheer El-Showk, Yu Nakayama, Slava Rychkov
The free Maxwell theory in D<>4 dimensions provides a physical example of a unitary, scale invariant theory which is NOT conformally invariant. The easiest way to see this is that…
