Description
We take a simple step towards implementing the causality constraint in
the CFT by exploiting connection between unitarity, causality and
crossing symmetry. Most of our computation is restricted to scalar
correlators and we show that causality constrains the sign of certain
non-analytic terms in conformal block expansion. We also discuss
connection with dual gravity computation.
