Accurate bootstrap bounds from optimal interpolation
Cyuan-Han Chang, Vasiliy Dommes, Petr Kravchuk +2
We develop new methods for approximating conformal blocks as positive functions times polynomials, with applications to the numerical bootstrap. We argue that to obtain accurate bo…
Seeing through the confinement screen: DGLAP/BFKL mixing and light-ray matching in QCD
Cyuan-Han Chang, Hao Chen, David Simmons-Duffin +1
We argue that collider observables such as hadron number flux can be matched onto a linear combination of detectors/light-ray operators in perturbative QCD. The spectrum of detecto…
A genus-2 crossing equation in
David Simmons-Duffin, Yixin Xu
We explore a "genus-2" crossing equation obeyed by CFTs in general dimensions . This crossing equation relates two different decompositions of the "genus-2 partition funct…
Weight Shifting Operators and Conformal Blocks
Denis Karateev, Petr Kravchuk, David Simmons-Duffin
We introduce a large class of conformally-covariant differential operators and a crossing equation that they obey. Together, these tools dramatically simplify calculations involvin…
Regge trajectories, detectors, and distributions in the critical model
Yue-Zhou Li, David Simmons-Duffin
We explore light-ray operators in the critical O model in the large- limit, focusing on leading-twist and leading ``horizontal" trajectories. We distinguish between light-r…
Bootstrapping the 3d Ising Stress Tensor
Cyuan-Han Chang, Vasiliy Dommes, Rajeev S. Erramilli +6
We compute observables of the critical 3d Ising model to high precision by applying the numerical conformal bootstrap to mixed correlators of the leading scalar operators and…
