Abstract

We study the conformal bootstrap for 4-point functions of fermions ψiψjψkψ\langle \psi_i \psi_j \psi_k \psi_{\ell} \rangle in parity-preserving 3d CFTs, where ψi\psi_i transforms as a vector under an O(N)O(N) global symmetry. We compute bounds on scaling dimensions and central charges, finding features in our bounds that appear to coincide with the O(N)O(N) symmetric Gross-Neveu-Yukawa fixed points. Our computations are in perfect agreement with the 1/N1/N expansion at large NN and allow us to make nontrivial predictions at small NN. For values of NN for which the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa universality classes are relevant to condensed-matter systems, we compare our results to previous analytic and numerical results.
