QG group meeting: Analytic Conformal Bootstrap and Large Spin Perturbation Theory

This is the weekly QG group meeting (note permanent change of time to 15:30).
Speaker: Adi David (Ph.D. student).
Title: "Tales from KAWS 2018: Analytic Conformal Bootstrap and Large Spin Perturbation Theory"

In this talk we will review the basics of Conformal Field Theory and the bootstrap method for determining CFT data. We will discuss the analytical approach to conformal bootstrap, namely the Large Spin Perturbation Theory as applied to generalised free fields and CFTs with broken higher spin symmetry.
