We analyze the conformal bootstrap constraints in theories with four supercharges and a global $O(N) \times U(1)$ flavor symmetry in $3 \leq d \leq 4$ dimensions. In particular, we consider the 4-point function of $O(N)$-fundamental chiral operators $Z_i$ that have no chiral primary in the $O(N)$-singlet sector of their OPE. We find features in our numerical bounds that nearly coincide with the theory of $N+1$ chiral super-fields with superpotential $W = X \sum_{i=1}^N Z_i^2$, as well as general bounds on SCFTs where $\sum_{i=1}^N Z_i^2$ vanishes in the chiral ring.

  1. Conformal Bootstrap with Duality-Inspired Fusion Rule

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.
