Bootstrapping Mixed Correlators in 4D $\mathcal{N}=1$ SCFTs
Abstract
The numerical conformal bootstrap is used to study mixed correlators in superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in spacetime dimensions. Systems of four-point functions involving scalar chiral and real operators are analyzed, including the case where the scalar real operator is the zero component of a global conserved current multiplet. New results on superconformal blocks as well as universal constraints on the space of 4D SCFTs with chiral operators are presented. At the level of precision used, the conditions under which the putative "minimal" 4D SCFT may be isolated into a disconnected allowed region remain elusive. Nevertheless, new features of the bounds are found that provide further evidence for the presence of a special solution to crossing symmetry corresponding to the "minimal" 4D SCFT.
