Selected Topics in Analytic Conformal Bootstrap: A Guided Journey

Understand

This review aims to offer a pedagogical introduction to the analytic conformal bootstrap program via a journey through selected topics.

• We review analytic methods which include the large spin perturbation theory, Mellin space methods and the Lorentzian inversion formula.
• These techniques are applied to a variety of topics ranging from large-N theories, to the epsilon expansion and holographic superconformal correlators, and are demonstrated in a large number of explicit examples.
