One of the drivers for this seminar series is to get a glimpse of the many research questions, ideas, and results linked to the activities in our division. The seminars are intended to be very informal and we make plenty of room for questions and discussions.

Abstract: I will discuss recent progress in constraining four-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) with Abelian conserved currents using the conformal bootstrap. After a short pedagogical introduction to the conformal bootstrap, I will set up the bootstrap problem for the four-point function of U(1) currents and present numerical bounds on operator dimensions, the current central charge, and the ’t Hooft anomaly.
