Abstract
We study 3d CFTs with an global symmetry using the conformal bootstrap for a system of mixed correlators. Specifically, we consider all nonvanishing scalar four-point functions containing the lowest dimension vector and the lowest dimension singlet , assumed to be the only relevant operators in their symmetry representations. The constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity for these four-point functions force the scaling dimensions to lie inside small islands. We also make rigorous determinations of current two-point functions in the and models, with applications to transport in condensed matter systems.
