Abstract

We compute observables of the critical 3d Ising model to high precision by applying the numerical conformal bootstrap to mixed correlators of the leading scalar operators σ\sigma and ϵ\epsilon, and the stress tensor TμνT_{\mu\nu}. We obtain new precise determinations of scaling dimensions (Δσ,Δϵ)=(0.518148806(24),1.41262528(29))(\Delta_\sigma, \Delta_\epsilon) = (0.518148806(24), 1.41262528(29)) as well as OPE coefficients involving σ\sigma, ϵ\epsilon, and TμνT_{\mu\nu}. We also describe several improvements made along the way to algorithms and software tools for the numerical bootstrap.
