The five-point bootstrap

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study five-point correlation functions of scalar operators in d-dimensional conformal field theories. We develop a new approach to computing the five-point conformal blocks for exchanged primary operators of arbitrary spin by introducing a generalization of radial coordinates, using an appropriate ansatz, and perturbatively solving two quadratic Casimir differential equations. We then study five-point correlators langlesigmasigmaepsilonsigmasigmaangle in the critical 3d Ising model. We truncate the operator product expansions (OPEs) in the correlator by including a finite number of primary operators with conformal dimension below a cutoff DeltaleqslantDeltamcutoff. We then compute several OPE coefficients involving epsilon and two spinning operators by demanding that the truncated correlator approximately satisfies the crossing relation.
