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.

abstract
We study the conformal bootstrap in fractional space-time dimensions, obtaining rigorous bounds on operator dimensions. Our results show strong evidence that there is a family of unitary CFTs connecting the 2D Ising model, the 3D Ising model, and the free scalar theory in 4D. We give numerical predictions for the leading operator dimensions and central charge in this family at different values of D and compare these to calculations of phi^4 theory in the epsilon-expansion.

Conformal Bootstrap with Duality-Inspired Fusion Rule
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.
