Bootstrapping the minimal 3D SCFT

We study the conformal bootstrap constraints for 3D conformal field theories with a ℤ2 or parity symmetry, assuming a single relevant scalar operator ϵ that is invariant under the symmetry. When there is additionally a single relevant odd scalar σ, we map out the allowed space of dimensions and three-point couplings of such “Ising-like” CFTs. If we allow a second relevant odd scalar σ′, we identify a feature in the allowed space compatible with 3D N\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal{N} $$\end{document} = 1 superconformal symmetry and conjecture that it corresponds to the minimal N\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mathcal{N} $$\end{document} = 1 supersymmetric extension of the Ising CFT.

We additionally place bounds on the central charge and use the extremal functional method to estimate the dimensions of the next several operators in the spectrum. Based on our results we observe the possible exact relation λϵϵϵ/λσσϵ = tan(1).
