Title: Conformal Bootstrap with Fermions
Host: Xiaochuan Lu
Room: 432
Abstract: We study conformal field theories with fermion operators using the
conformal bootstrap methods. This gives a new way to determine the
scaling dimensions of the known theories like Gross-Neveu-Yukawa
models in 3d. When available, we compare our results with previous
perturbative results. Our method is more general so we also use it to
study models that are not necessarily in perturbative regime, like N=1
supersymmetric extension of 3d Ising model which might have
realization in condensed matter systems. We speculate about the
existence of certain yet unknown CFTs.
