In this work, we develop conformal bootstrap for Galilean conformal field theory (GCFT). In a GCFT, the Hilbert space could be decomposed into quasiprimary states and its global descendants. Different from the usual conformal field theory, the quasi-primary states in a GCFT constitute multiplets, which are block-diagonized under the Galilean boost operator. More importantly the multiplets include the states of negative norms, indicating the theory is not unitary. We compute global blocks of the multiplets, and discuss the expansion of four-point functions in terms of the global blocks of the multiplets. Furthermore we do the harmonic analysis for the Galilean conformal symmetry and obtain an inversion formula. As the first step to apply the Galilean conformal bootstrap, we construct generalized Galilean free theory (GGFT) explicitly. We read the data of GGFT by using Taylor series expansion of four-point function and the inversion formula independently, and find exact agreement. We discuss some novel features in the Galilean conformal bootstrap, due to the non-semisimpleness of the Galilean conformal algebra and the non-unitarity of the GCFTs.

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A c-dependent similarity transformation generates new Galilean and Carrollian fermion actions, including a Carrollian model with non-removable finite energy and a Galilean model with an accidental fermionic gauge symmetry.

  2. Missing Descendants in the Carrollian Conformal Family

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Including the missing K0 descendant chain completes Carrollian conformal representations and produces C2>0 sectors and two-point correlators fixed only up to functions of Carrollian invariants.

  3. Revisiting Schr\"odinger CFTs: Factorization, Massless Particles, and a Path to the Bootstrap

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Schrödinger CFTs are reformulated via a harmonic-trap thermofield double, giving a state-operator correspondence for all operators and a factorization proof of non-renormalization.

  4. Modular Hamiltonian and entanglement entropy in the BMS free fermion theory

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the BMS free fermion model, the two-interval modular Hamiltonian has local plus bi-local terms, and the vacuum entanglement entropy for n intervals is the chiral-CFT formula with c_L=1 and c_M=0.
