Recent programs on conformal bootstrap suggest an empirical relationship between the existence of non-trivial conformal field theories and non-trivial features such as a kink in the unitarity bound of conformal dimensions in the conformal bootstrap equations. We report the existene of non-trivial kinks in the unitarity bound of scalar operators in the adjoint representation of the $SU(N)$ symmetric conformal field theories. They have interesting properties (1) the kinks exist in $d<6$ dimensions (2) the location of kinks are when the unitarity bound hits the space-time dimension $d$ (3) there exists a "conformal window" of $N<N_*$, where $N_* \sim 15 $ in $d=4$ and $N_* \sim 20$ in $d=5$.

  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.
