Madalena Lemos: Bootstrapping strongly coupled (super)conformal field theories

Thursday 28 Oct 2021, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/London

Symmetries have frequently aided our study of physical systems. For conformally invariant quantum field theories there has been a lot of recent progress in what can be broadly described as "bootstrapping" these theories from their symmetries. I will review this progress and how it can be used to learn about strongly coupled theories, for which we often cannot rely on traditional perturbative methods, with a special focus on supersymmetric conformal field theories.
