Analytic bootstrap of mixed correlators in the O(n) CFT
Abstract
We use large spin perturbation theory and the Lorentzian inversion formula to compute order- corrections to mixed correlators in the O(n) Wilson-Fisher CFT in 4 - dimensions. In particular, we find the scaling dimensions and averaged OPE coefficients appearing in all correlators involving and 2, for 2 in both the singlet and symmetric traceless representations of O(n). We extend some computations to the next order, and find order-2 data for a number of quantities for the Ising case at n = 1. Along the way, we discuss several interesting technical aspects which arise, including subleading corrections to mixed conformal blocks, projections onto higher twists in the inversion formula, and multiplet recombination.
