Abstract

We study the tricritical Ising universality class using conformal bootstrap techniques. By studying bootstrap constraints originating from multiple correlators on the CFT data of multiple OPEs, we are able to determine the scaling dimension of the spin field Δσ\Delta_\sigma in various non-integer dimensions 2d32 \le d \le 3. Δσ\Delta_{\sigma} is connected to the critical exponent η\eta that governs the (tri-)critical behaviour of the two point function via the relation, η=2d+2Δσ\eta = 2 - d + 2 \Delta_{\sigma}. Our results for Δσ\Delta_\sigma match with the exactly known values in two and three dimensions and are a conjecture for non-integer dimensions. We also compare our CFT results for Δσ\Delta_\sigma with ϵ\epsilon-expansion results, available up to ϵ3\epsilon^3 order. Our techniques can be naturally extended to study higher-order multi-critical points.
