Abstract
We consider the 3-state Potts model in dimensions. For less than the upper critical dimension , the model has a critical and a tricritical fixed point. In , these fixed points are described by minimal models, and so are exactly solvable. For , however, strong coupling makes them difficult to study and there is no consensus on the value of . We use the numerical conformal bootstrap to compute critical exponents of both the critical and tricritical fixed points for general . In our results match the expected values, and as we increase we find that the critical exponents of each fixed point get closer until they merge near .
