abstract

We perform a numerical bootstrap study of the mixed correlator system containing the half-BPS operators of dimension two and three in $\mathcal N = 4$ Super Yang-Mills. This setup improves on previous works in the literature that only considered single correlators of one or the other operator. We obtain upper bounds on the leading twist in a given representation of the R-symmetry by imposing gaps on the twist of all operators rather than the dimension of a single one. As a result we find a tension between the large $N$ supergravity predictions and the numerical finite $N$ results already at $N\sim 100$. A few possible solutions are discussed: the extremal spectrum suggests that at large but finite $N$, in addition to the double trace operators, there exists a second tower of states with smaller dimension. We also obtain new bounds on the dimension of operators which were not accessible with a single correlator setup. Finally we consider bounds on the OPE coefficients of various operators. The results obtained for the OPE coefficient of the lightest scalar singlet show evidences of a two dimensional conformal manifold.

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

    A chiral-algebra bootstrap reproduces the defect two-point correlators of the 6d (2,0) theory using only bulk-channel data and predicts new defect-channel OPE coefficients.
