The analytic functional bootstrap. Part II. Natural bases for the crossing equation

The analytic functional bootstrap. Part II. Natural bases for the crossing equation

A bstract We clarify the relationships between different approaches to the conformal bootstrap. A central role is played by the so-called extremal functionals. They are linear functionals acting on the crossing equation which are directly responsible for the optimal bounds of the numerical bootstrap. We explain in detail that the …
