MIB: PRECISE CRITICAL EXPONENTS FROM CONFORMAL BOOTSTRAP

ALESSANDRO VICHI, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory: The past few years have seen great progress in the understanding of Conformal Field Theories (CFT's). I will review the 'conformal bootstrap program', namely the use of unitarity and crossings ymmetry to extract quantitative informations about CFT's. I will use conformal bootstrap to perform a precision study of the operator spectrum of the critical 3d Ising model and reconstruct the first several operator dimensions and their OPE coefficiente. These translate into the most precise determination of the critical exponent to date
