Seminar October 1: A.Zhiboedov

On October 1st we will have a seminar by

Alexander Zhiboedov (CERN)

Title: Conformal Bootstrap in Mellin Space

Abstract:
I will talk about recent progress in analytic approaches to the conformal bootstrap. I will introduce Mellin space as a convenient tool to perform both perturbative and nonperturbative computations in conformal field theories. I will discuss dispersion relations in Mellin space, the sum rules that they lead to, and applications thereof. These include the Wilson-Fisher model in d=4-eps dimensions and holographic computations. I will also talk about generalization of these techniques to finite temperatures.
