Bootstrapping Smooth Line Operators in Chern-Simons-Matter CFTs

Regular Seminar De-liang Zhong (Imperial College, London)

abstract:

We study Chern-Simons theories at large N with either bosonic or fermionic matter in the fundamental representation. We will show that for smooth conformal line operators, their spectrum and shape dependence can be effectively bootstrapped using minimal inputs.
