The $(2,0)$ superconformal bootstrap

Understand

We develop the conformal bootstrap program for six-dimensional conformal field theories with $(2,0)$ supersymmetry, focusing on the universal four-point function of stress tensor multiplets.

• We review the solution of the superconformal Ward identities and describe the superconformal block decomposition of this correlator.
• We apply numerical bootstrap techniques to derive bounds on OPE coefficients and scaling dimensions from the constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity.
• We also derive analytic results for the large spin spectrum using the lightcone expansion of the crossing equation.
