It is well established that the $O(N)$ Wilson-Fisher (WF) CFT sits at a kink of the numerical bounds from bootstrapping four point function of $O(N)$ vector. Moving away from the WF kinks, there indeed exists another family of kinks (dubbed non-WF kinks) on the curve of $O(N)$ numerical bounds. Different from the $O(N)$ WF kinks that exist for arbitary $N$ in $2<d<4$ dimensions, the non-WF kinks exist in arbitrary dimensions but only for a large enough $N>N_c(d)$ in a given dimension $d$. In this paper we have achieved a thorough understanding for few special cases of these non-WF kinks. The first case is the $O(4)$ bootstrap in 2d, where the non-WF kink turns out to be the $SU(2)_1$ Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model, and all the $SU(2)_{k>2}$ WZW models saturate the numerical bound on the left side of the kink. We further carry out dimensional continuation of the 2d $SU(2)_1$ kink towards the 3d $SO(5)$ deconfined phase transition. We find the kink disappears at around $d=2.7$ dimensions indicating the $SO(5)$ deconfined phase transition is weakly first order. The second interesting observation is, the $O(2)$ bootstrap bound does not show any kink in 2d ($N_c=2$), but is surprisingly saturated by the 2d free boson CFT (also called Luttinger liquid) all the way on the numerical curve. The last case is the $N=infty$ limit, where the non-WF kink sits at $(Delta_phi, Delta_T)=(d-1, 2d)$ in $d$ dimensions. We manage to write down its analytical four point function in arbitrary dimensions, which equals to the subtraction of correlation functions of a free fermion theory and generalized free theory. An important feature of this solution is the existence of a full tower of conserved higher spin current. We speculate that a new family of CFTs will emerge at non-WF kinks for finite $N$, in a similar fashion as $O(N)$ WF CFTs originating from free boson at $N=infty$.

Motivated by applications to critical phenomena and open theoretical questions, we study conformal field theories with $O(m)times O(n)$ global symmetry in $d=3$ spacetime dimensions. We use both analytic and numerical bootstrap techniques. Using the analytic bootstrap, we calculate anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients as power series in $varepsilon=4-d$ and in $1/n$, with a method that generalizes to arbitrary global symmetry. Whenever comparison is possible, our results agree with earlier results obtained with diagrammatic methods in the literature. Using the numerical bootstrap, we obtain a wide variety of operator dimension bounds, and we find several islands (isolated allowed regions) in parameter space for $O(2)times O(n)$ theories for various values of $n$. Some of these islands can be attributed to fixed points predicted by perturbative methods like the $varepsilon$ and large-$n$ expansions, while others appear to arise due to fixed points that have been claimed to exist in resummations of perturbative beta functions.

We compute the $O(1/N^3)$ correction to the critical exponent $eta$ in the chiral XY or chiral Gross-Neveu model in $d$-dimensions. As the leading order vertex anomalous dimension vanishes, the direct application of the large $N$ conformal bootstrap formalism is not immediately possible. To circumvent this we consider the more general Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model for a general non-abelian Lie group. Taking the abelian limit of the exponents of this model produces those of the chiral XY model. Subsequently we provide improved estimates for $eta$ in the three dimensional chiral XY model for various values of $N$.
We explore the structures of light cone and Regge limit singularities of $n$-point Virasoro conformal blocks in $c>1$ two-dimensional conformal field theories with no chiral primaries, using fusion matrix approach. These CFTs include not only hologra phic CFTs dual to classical gravity, but also their full quantum corrections, since this approach allows us to explore full $1/c$ corrections. As the important applications, we study time dependence of Renyi entropy after a local quench and out-of-time ordered correlator (OTOC) at late time. We first show that, the $n$-th ($n>2$) Renyi entropy after a local quench in our CFT grows logarithmically at late time, for any $c$ and any conformal dimensions of excited primary. In particular, we find that this behavior is independent of $c$, contrary to the expectation that the finite $c$ correction fixes the late time Renyi entropy to be constant. We also show that the constant part of the late time Renyi entropy is given by a monodromy matrix. We also investigate OTOCs by using the monodromy matrix. We first rewrite the monodromy matrix in terms of fusion matrix explicitly. By this expression, we find that the OTOC decays exponentially in time, and the decay rates are divided into three patterns, depending on the dimensions of external operators. We note that our result is valid for any $c>1$ and any external operator dimensions. Our monodromy matrix approach can be generalized to the Liouville theory and we show that the Liouville OTOC approaches constant in the late time regime. We emphasize that, there is a number of other applications of the fusion and the monodromy matrix approaches, such as solving the conformal bootstrap equation. Therefore, it is tempting to believe that the fusion and monodromy matrix approaches provide a key to understanding the AdS/CFT correspondence.
We compute, using the method of large spin perturbation theory, the anomalous dimensions and OPE coefficients of all leading twist operators in the critical $ O(N) $ model, to fourth order in the $ epsilon $-expansion. This is done fully within a boo tstrap framework, and generalizes a recent result for the CFT-data of the Wilson-Fisher model. The anomalous dimensions we obtain for the $ O(N) $ singlet operators agree with the literature values, obtained by diagrammatic techniques, while the anomalous dimensions for operators in other representations, as well as all OPE coefficients, are new. From the results for the OPE coefficients, we derive the $ epsilon^4 $ corrections to the central charges $ C_T $ and $ C_J $, which are found to be compatible with the known large $ N $ expansions. Predictions for the central charge in the strongly coupled 3d model, including the 3d Ising model, are made for various values of $ N $, which compare favourably with numerical results and previous predictions.

In this work, a second-order transport coefficient (the curvature-matter coupling $kappa$) is calculated exactly for the 3+1d O(N) model at large N for any coupling value. Since the theory is `trivial in the sense of possessing a Landau pole, the res ult for $kappa$ only is free from cut-off artifacts much below the Landau pole in the effective field theory sense. Nevertheless, this leaves a large range of coupling values where this transport coefficient can be determined non-perturbatively and analytically with little ambiguity. Along with thermodyamic results also calculated in this work, I expect exact large N results to provide good quantitative predictions for N=1 scalar field theory with $phi^4$ interaction.
