We suggest a way to implement conformal bootstrap program for the case of the ${\cal N}=1$ SCFT in three dimensions using the previous analysis of the Ising model in \cite{CB}. We find approximate values for the conformal dimensions of…
In this thesis, we introduce new tools for the conformal bootstrap, autoboot and qboot. Each tool solves a different step in the whole computational stack, and combined with an existing efficient tool SDPB which solves semidefinite…

The recent emergence of the modern conformal bootstrap method for the study of conformal field theories (CFTs) has enabled the revisiting of old problems in classical critical phenomena described by three-dimensional CFTs. The study of such…
