Abstract

A bstract We compute observables of the critical 3d Ising model to high precision by applying the numerical conformal bootstrap to mixed correlators of the leading scalar operators σ and ϵ , and the stress tensor T μν . We obtain new precise determinations of scaling dimensions (∆ σ , ∆ ϵ ) = (0.518148806(24), 1.41262528(29)) as well as OPE coefficients involving σ , ϵ , and T μν . We also describe several improvements made along the way to algorithms and software tools for the numerical bootstrap.
