abstract
We define the two-dimensional $O(n)$ conformal field theory as a theory that includes the critical dilute and dense $O(n)$ models as special cases, and depends analytically on the central charge. For generic values of $n\in\mathbb{C}$, we write a conjecture for the decomposition of the spectrum into irreducible representations of $O(n)$. We then explain how to numerically bootstrap arbitrary four-point functions of primary fields in the presence of the global $O(n)$ symmetry. We determine the needed conformal blocks, including logarithmic blocks, including in singular cases. We argue that $O(n)$ representation theory provides upper bounds on the number of solutions of crossing symmetry for any given four-point function. We study some of the simplest correlation functions in detail, and determine a few fusion rules. We count the solutions of crossing symmetry for the $30$ simplest four-point functions. The number of solutions varies from $2$ to $6$, and saturates the bound from $O(n)$ representation theory in $21$ out of $30$ cases.

The tricritical Ising CFT and conformal bootstrap
First conformal-bootstrap islands for the tricritical Ising CFT in d=2.5 and d=2.75, consistent with Padé interpolations between the 3−ε expansion and the exact 2d minimal model.

Coupled minimal models revisited II: Constraints from permutation symmetry
For coupled large-m minimal models with N=5,6,7, every permutation-charged current below spin 10 acquires an anomalous dimension, so the IR fixed points show no extended chiral algebra in that range.

Logarithmic operators in $c=0$ bulk CFTs
The bulk energy four-point function in percolation and self-avoiding walk CFTs is non-zero at c=0, driven by coupling to a rank-3 Jordan block associated with the second energy operator.

On the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in the limit of integer spacetime dimensions
The d→2 Wilson-Fisher limit is proposed to be strictly larger than the 2d Ising CFT, which emerges as a unitary subsector after negative-multiplicity operators cancel exactly.
