Overview
Explore the second lecture on Conformal Bootstrap from the Kavli Asian Winter School on Strings, Particles and Cosmology 2018. Delve into advanced topics in conformal field theory, including numerical methods, unitarity constraints, and analytic bootstrap techniques. Examine key concepts such as upper bounds for scaling dimensions, Gaussian theory applications, and the bootstrap equation. Gain insights into the infinite number of operators in conformal field theories and their implications. Suitable for advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers in high-energy physics and string theory.
