Abstract

We analyze the conformal bootstrap constraints in theories with four supercharges and a global O(N)×U(1)O(N) \times U(1) flavor symmetry in 3d43 \leq d \leq 4 dimensions. In particular, we consider the 4-point function of O(N)O(N)-fundamental chiral operators ZiZ_i that have no chiral primary in the O(N)O(N)-singlet sector of their OPE. We find features in our numerical bounds that nearly coincide with the theory of N+1N+1 chiral super-fields with superpotential W=Xi=1NZi2W = X \sum_{i=1}^N Z_i^2, as well as general bounds on SCFTs where i=1NZi2\sum_{i=1}^N Z_i^2 vanishes in the chiral ring.
