We consider the dimensional reduction of a CFT, breaking multiplets of the d-dimensional conformal group SO(d+1,1) up into multiplets of SO(d,1). This leads to an expansion of d-dimensional conformal blocks in terms of blocks in d-1 dimensions. In particular, we obtain a formula for 3d conformal blocks as an infinite sum over 2F1 hypergeometric functions with closed-form coefficients.

Lectures on Semiclassical Methods for Composite Operators
Lecture notes develop semiclassical methods to compute large-n scaling dimensions of composite operators in CFTs, recovering known results in free theory and deriving one-loop corrections at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point.
