1 25 June, 2015 Some analytic results from conformal bootstrap Aninda Sinha Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore Strings 2015, ICTS, Bangalore Strings 2015, ICTS, Bangalore
2 Since the seminal work of Rattazzi, Rychkov, Tonni and Vichi in 2008, many interesting results have emerged using conformal bootstrap. Most of these impressive results rely heavily on (clever) numerics. I will talk about some analytic results that follow from conformal bootstrap.
3 Work done with Apratim Kaviraj, Kallol Sen arxiv: , and in progress. See Apratim s poster and cf Kallol s gong show talk Builds on work by Fitzpatrick, Kaplan, Poland, Simmons-Duffin; Komargodski, Zhiboedov. Related work by Alday, Bissi, Lukowski for N=4 SYM.
4 Summary of main results Given a (4d for most part) CFT with a scalar operator of dimension and a spin-2 (minimal) twist-2 operator there is an infinite sequence of large spin operators of dimension =2 +2n + ` + (n, `) Anomalous dim. ` n 1 (n, `) = 160 n 4 c T `2 n ` 1 (n, `) = 80 n 3 c T ` UNIVERSAL ht ab (x)t cd (x 0 )i =?UNIVERSAL? assume large N c T x x 0 2d I ab,cd(x x 0 )
5 For large N, we can think of these operators as double trace operators of the form Heemskerk, Penedones, Polchinski, Sully; El-Showk, Papadodimas However the CFT bootstrap analysis of course only yields conformal dimension, spin and the OPE coefficients and not the precise form of these operators.
6 Why is this interesting? Result is universal. Does not depend on lagrangian or the dimension of the seed operator. Just assumes twist gap of these operators from other operators in the spectrum. Anomalous dimension of double trace operators is related to bulk Shapiro time delay. Sign of anomalous dimension is related to causality. Interplay between unitarity of CFT and causality of bulk. Camanho, Edelstein, Maldacena, Zhiboedov Can be extended to arbitrary (eg. 3d) dimensions. May be relevant for 3d Ising model at criticality. El-Showk, Paulos, Poland, Rychkov, Simmons-Duffin, Vichi
7 Can compare with AdS/CFT. Two different ways to calculate the anomalous dimensions a) Eikonal approximation of 2-2 scattering. b) Energy shift in a black hole background. Cornalba, Costa, Penedones, Schiappa Fitzpatrick, Kaplan, Walters; Kaviraj, Sen, AS Turns out that the result matches exactly with the AdS/CFT prediction. Kaviraj, Sen, AS

OPE s known.
41 We can go to subleading order It can be shown that the anomalous dimension at large spin goes like an inverse power of the spin for spacetime dimension>2. This means that we can treat the inverse spin as an expansion parameter and this result is true even for theories which do not have a large N. Our objective is to determine the n-dependence for the anomalous dimension.
42 After some clever detective work we find m Twist of exchanged operator (n, `)` m = nx m=0 C n,mb (d) m (d) nested sums : Since k is a positive integer, this is a polynomial.

Anom. dims. will not be small for some very large twist. To allow for perturbative unitarity cf Camanho, Edelstein, Maldacena, Zhiboedov we may need to add an infinite set of higher spin modes.
65 It will be very interesting to see what a consistent CFT spectrum can be which leads to perturbatively small anomalous dimensions in a theory with large N and a gap.
66 Holography

69 Holography Fitzpatrick, Kaplan and Walters suggested the following simple calculation. The double trace operators can be thought of as two massive particles in AdS rotating around each other. The anomalous dimension arises due to the interacting energy of these particles. Essential idea is to do perturbation theory in inverse distance corresponding to a Newtonian approximation in AdS.
70 It has been shown that for n=0, the result of the calculation agrees with the bootstrap prediction. (Unlike Eikonal where both spin and n needed to be large) Non-zero n is quite hard. However, we have been able to make progress (barring overall constants) at large n, i.e., It turns out to give exactly the same universal behaviour predicted by bootstrap!

73 The ` n 1 result exactly agrees with the CFT calculation. It will be interesting to do the other limit to check non-universality due to higher derivative corrections and compare with causality constraints.
74 Summary We have derived certain interesting universal results using conformal bootstrap. We should understand the large twist limit better both from the CFT side (what is a consistent spectrum) and from the gravity side (role of higher derivative corrections).
