Bootstrapping O(N) Vector Models with Four Supercharges in 3 ≤ d ≤4

Abstract

We analyze the conformal bootstrap constraints in theories with four supercharges and a global O(N) × U(1) flavor symmetry in 3 ≤ d ≤ 4 dimensions. In particular, we consider the 4-point function of O(N)-fundamental chiral operators Zi that have no chiral primary in the O(N)-singlet sector of their OPE. We find features in our numerical bounds that nearly coincide with the theory of N+1 chiral super-fields with superpotential W = X Σi=1N Zi2, as well as general bounds on SCFTs where Σi=1N Zi2 vanishes in the chiral ring.
