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.

  1. Protected operators in non-local defect CFTs from AdS

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Defect-induced symmetry breaking viewed from the AdS bulk enforces protected displacement and tilt operators in non-local boundary CFTs via Ward identities.

  2. Quantum mechanical bootstrap without inequalities: SYK bilinear spectrum

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Fractional operator powers generate non-positivity constraints that determine the SYK bilinear spectrum and converge to exact eigenvalues under truncation.

  3. Quantum Rotors on the Fuzzy Sphere and the Cubic CFT

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-04 conditional novelty 7.0

    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.
