Deskripsi
Abstract We study scalar conformal field theories whose large N spectrum is fixed by the operator dimensions of either the Ising model or the Lee-Yang edge singularity. Using the numerical bootstrap to study CFTs with S N ⊗ Z 2 symmetry, we find a series of kinks whose locations approach (Δ σ Ising, Δ∈Ising) at N → ∞. Setting N = 4, we study the cubic anisotropic fixed point with three spin components. As byproducts of our numerical bootstrap work, we discover another series of kinks whose identification with previous known CFTs remains a mystery. We also show that “minimal models” of W3 $$ {\mathcal{W}}_3 $$ algebra saturate the numerical bootstrap bounds of CFTs with S 3 symmetry.
