These lectures were given at the Weizmann Institute in the spring of 2019. They are
intended to familiarize students with the nuts and bolts of the numerical bootstrap as …

A bstract 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 …

We present enhancements to SDPB, an open source, parallelized, arbitrary precision
semidefinite program solver designed for the conformal bootstrap. The main enhancement is …

The idea of the conformal bootstrap is to constrain and solve CFTs using physical
consistency conditions like symmetry, unitarity, and causality. By relying on nonperturbative …

We study the critical O (3) model using the numerical conformal bootstrap. In particular, we
use a recently developed cutting-surface algorithm to efficiently map out the allowed space …

A bstract We combine perturbation theory with analytic and numerical bootstrap techniques
to study the critical point of the long-range Ising (LRI) model in two and three dimensions …

A bstract We combine supersymmetric localization results and the numerical conformal
bootstrap technique to study the 3d maximally supersymmetric (\(\mathcal {N}\)= 8) CFT on N …

The numerical conformal bootstrap has become in the last 15 years an indispensable tool
for studying strongly coupled CFTs in various dimensions. Here we review the main …

We study the cubic fixed point for N= 3 and 4 by using finite-size scaling applied to data
obtained from Monte Carlo simulations of the N-component ϕ 4 model on the simple cubic …

We discuss scalar conformal field theories (CFTs) that can be realized in structural phase
transitions. The Landau condition and Lifshitz condition are reviewed, which are necessary …
