Description

Recently, we initiated a positive semi-definite numerical bootstrap program for multi-point correlators. Considering six-point functions of operators on a line we reformulated the crossing symmetry equation for a pair of comb-channel expansions as a semi-definite programming problem. Through a combination of analytical and numerical techniques we obtained rigorous bounds on CFT data in the triple-twist channel for several examples.
