We define the two-dimensional $O(n)$ conformal field theory as a theory that includes the critical dilute and dense $O(n)$ models as special cases, and depends analytically on the central charge. For generic values of $n\in\mathbb{C}$, we write a conjecture for the decomposition of the spectrum into irreducible representations of $O(n)$. We then explain how to numerically bootstrap arbitrary four-point functions of primary fields in the presence of the global $O(n)$ symmetry. We determine the needed conformal blocks, including logarithmic blocks, including in singular cases. We argue that $O(n)$ representation theory provides upper bounds on the number of solutions of crossing symmetry for any given four-point function. We study some of the simplest correlation functions in detail, and determine a few fusion rules. We count the solutions of crossing symmetry for the $30$ simplest four-point functions. The number of solutions varies from $2$ to $6$, and saturates the bound from $O(n)$ representation theory in $21$ out of $30$ cases.

  1. Exact solution of three-point functions in critical loop models

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    An exact formula for three-point functions in critical loop models is proposed and validated using conformal bootstrap, transfer-matrix lattice studies, and conformal loop ensembles with Liouville quantum gravity.

  2. On the Wilson-Fisher fixed point in the limit of integer spacetime dimensions

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    The d→2 Wilson-Fisher limit is proposed to be strictly larger than the 2d Ising CFT, which emerges as a unitary subsector after negative-multiplicity operators cancel exactly.
