We study the mixed system of correlation functions involving a scalar field charged under a global $U(1)$ symmetry and the associated conserved spin-1 current $J_mu$. Using numerical bootstrap techniques we obtain bounds on new observables not accessible in the usual scalar bootstrap. We then specialize to the $O(2)$ model and extract rigorous bounds on the three-point function coefficient of two currents and the unique relevant scalar singlet, as well as those of two currents and the stress tensor. Using these results, and comparing with a quantum Monte Carlo simulation of the $O(2)$ model conductivity, we give estimates of the thermal one-point function of the relevant singlet and the stress tensor. We also obtain new bounds on operators in various sectors.

By bootstrap percolation we mean the following deterministic process on a graph $G$. Given a set $A$ of vertices infected at time 0, new vertices are subsequently infected, at each time step, if they have at least $rinmathbb{N}$ previously infected n eighbors. When the set $A$ is chosen at random, the main aim is to determine the critical probability $p_c(G,r)$ at which percolation (infection of the entire graph) becomes likely to occur. This bootstrap process has been extensively studied on the $d$-dimensional grid $[n]^d$: with $2leq rleq d$ fixed, it was proved by Cerf and Cirillo (for $d=r=3$), and by Cerf and Manzo (in general), that [p_c([n]^d,r)=Thetabiggl(frac{1}{log_{(r-1)}n}biggr)^{d-r+1},] where $log_{(r)}$ is an $r$-times iterated logarithm. However, the exact threshold function is only known in the case $d=r=2$, where it was shown by Holroyd to be $(1+o(1))frac{pi^2}{18log n}$. In this paper we shall determine the exact threshold in the crucial case $d=r=3$, and lay the groundwork for solving the problem for all fixed $d$ and $r$.
In the polluted bootstrap percolation model, vertices of the cubic lattice $mathbb{Z}^3$ are independently declared initially occupied with probability $p$ or closed with probability $q$. Under the standard (respectively, modified) bootstrap rule, a vertex becomes occupied at a subsequent step if it is not closed and it has at least $3$ occupied neighbors (respectively, an occupied neighbor in each coordinate). We study the final density of occupied vertices as $p,qto 0$. We show that this density converges to $1$ if $q ll p^3(log p^{-1})^{-3}$ for both standard and modified rules. Our principal result is a complementary bound with a matching power for the modified model: there exists $C$ such that the final density converges to $0$ if $q > Cp^3$. For the standard model, we establish convergence to $0$ under the stronger condition $q>Cp^2$.
We constrain the spectrum of two-dimensional unitary, compact conformal field theories with central charge c > 1 using modular bootstrap. Upper bounds on the gap in the dimension of primary operators of any spin, as well as in the dimension of scalar primaries, are computed numerically as functions of the central charge using semi-definite programming. Our bounds refine those of Hellerman and Friedan-Keller, and are in some cases saturated by known CFTs. In particular, we show that unitary CFTs with c < 8 must admit relevant deformations, and that a nontrivial bound on the gap of scalar primaries exists for c < 25. We also study bounds on the dimension gap in the presence of twist gaps, bounds on the degeneracy of operators, and demonstrate how extremal spectra which maximize the degeneracy at the gap can be determined numerically.
We set up the conventional conformal bootstrap equations in Mellin space and analyse the anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients of large spin double trace operators. By decomposing the equations in terms of continuous Hahn polynomials, we derive e xplicit expressions as an asymptotic expansion in inverse conformal spin to any order, reproducing the contribution of any primary operator and its descendants in the crossed channel. The expressions are in terms of known mathematical functions and involve generalized Bernoulli (Norlund) polynomials and the Mack polynomials and enable us to derive certain universal properties. Comparing with the recently introduced reformulated equations in terms of crossing symmetric tree level exchange Witten diagrams, we show that to leading order in anomalous dimension but to all orders in inverse conformal spin, the equations are the same as in the conventional formulation. At the next order, the polynomial ambiguity in the Witten diagram basis is needed for the equivalence and we derive the necessary constraints for the same.
We consider general fermionic quantum field theories with a global finite group symmetry $G$, focusing on the case of 2-dimensions and torus spacetime. The modular transformation properties of the family of partition functions with different backgrou nds is determined by the t Hooft anomaly of $G$ and fermion parity. For a general possibly non-abelian $G$ we provide a method to determine the modular transformations directly from the bulk 3d invertible topological quantum field theory (iTQFT) corresponding to the anomaly by inflow. We also describe a method of evaluating the character map from the real representation ring of $G$ to the group which classifies anomalies. Physically the value of the map is given by the anomaly of free fermions in a given representation. We assume classification of the anomalies/iTQFTs by spin-cobordisms. As a byproduct, for all abelian symmetry groups $G$, we provide explicit combinatorial expressions for corresponding spin-bordism invariants in terms of surgery representation of arbitrary closed spin 3-manifolds. We work out the case of $G=mathbb{Z}_2$ in detail, and, as an application, we consider the constraints that t Hooft anomaly puts on the spectrum of the infrared conformal field theory.
