The authors derive new propagator identities that yield holographic representations for 5- and 6-point global scalar conformal blocks and obtain closed-form direct-channel decompositions of a class of higher-point AdS diagrams.

abstract
We study the constraints of crossing symmetry and unitarity in general 3D Conformal Field Theories. In doing so we derive new results for conformal blocks appearing in four-point functions of scalars and present an efficient method for their computation in arbitrary space-time dimension. Comparing the resulting bounds on operator dimensions and OPE coefficients in 3D to known results, we find that the 3D Ising model lies at a corner point on the boundary of the allowed parameter space. We also derive general upper bounds on the dimensions of higher spin operators, relevant in the context of theories with weakly broken higher spin symmetries.

Defect-induced symmetry breaking viewed from the AdS bulk enforces protected displacement and tilt operators in non-local boundary CFTs via Ward identities.
Introduces SU(m,m|2n)-covariant weight-shifting operators in the super-Grassmannian formalism to derive all superconformal blocks from half-BPS ones.
Fractional operator powers generate non-positivity constraints that determine the SYK bilinear spectrum and converge to exact eigenvalues under truncation.
Adding a cubic two-body interaction to quantum rotors on the fuzzy sphere isolates the cubic CFT critical point, enabling calculation of scaling dimensions for key operators that match existing benchmarks.
Establishes correspondence between flat, thermal, and defect conformal partial waves via shadow formalism, obtaining thermal blocks from flat four-point and defect two-point functions and reducing the Casimir equation diagonally.
Proves that SO(3) lattice Yang-Mills theory fails Wilson's confinement criterion at strong coupling.
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.
