abstract
We study the constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity for conformal field theories in the presence of a boundary, with a focus on the Ising model in various dimensions. We show that an analytic approach to the bootstrap is feasible for free-field theory and at one loop in the epsilon expansion, but more generally one has to resort to numerical methods. Using the recently developed linear programming techniques we find several interesting bounds for operator dimensions and OPE coefficients and comment on their physical relevance. We also show that the "boundary bootstrap" can be easily applied to correlation functions of tensorial operators and study the stress tensor as an example. In the appendices we present conformal block decompositions of a variety of physically interesting correlation functions.

Crosscap defects are introduced in CFTs via Z2 quotients, with crossing equations derived and CFT data computed in the O(N) model at Gaussian and Wilson-Fisher points showing absent displacement and tilt operators for generic p.
Defect charges under generalized symmetries correspond one-to-one with gapped boundary conditions of the Symmetry TFT Z(C) on Y = Σ_{d-p+1} × S^{p-1} via dimensional reduction.
Imposing a duality-inspired fusion rule that forbids the [ε] sector from appearing in the [ε] × [ε] OPE yields numerical bounds on (Δ_σ, Δ_ε) that include the 2d Ising model but exclude the 3d Ising model.
Numerical study of the Kane-Mele-Hubbard-Rashba model reveals ordinary, special BKT-type, and extraordinary boundary transitions enriched by topological edge states.
Neural networks trained on crossing symmetry accurately reconstruct conformal correlators from minimal inputs due to alignment between their spectral bias and CFT smoothness.
One-loop bulk calculations in holographic BCFT with EOW brane yield scalar correlators whose analytic properties are incompatible with boundary conformal symmetry expectations.
A dissertation synthesizing universal aspects of defect dynamics in QFT through symmetry principles across defect RG flows, effective strings, and quantum gas impurities.
Develops a Functorial QFT approach and applies it to analyze the O(N) model in AdS, focusing on crossed-channel diagram contributions to conformal block decomposition in the non-singlet sector.
