Bootstrapping minimal $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal field theory in three dimensions
Abstract
Using numerical bootstrap method, we determine the critical exponents of the minimal three-dimensional superconformal field theory (SCFT) to be and . The model was argued in arXiv:1301.7449 to describe a quantum critical point (QCP) at the boundary a D topological superconductor. More interestingly, the QCP can be reached by tuning a single parameter, where supersymmetry (SUSY) is realised as an emergent symmetry. By imposing emergent SUSY in numerical bootstrap, we find that the conformal scaling dimension of the real scalar operator is highly restricted. If we further assume the SCFT to have only two time-reversal parity odd relevant operators, and , we find that allowed region for and becomes an isolated island. The result is obtained by considering not only the four point correlator , but also and , with being the superconformal descendant of .
