2D superconformal bootstrap: Part II

Description
I will first review the general idea of numerical bootstrap, and explain what kind of information about the CFT data can be obtained with present day techniques. I then proceed with bootstrapping the K3 CFT, and derive moduli-dependent bounds on the gaps in the operator spectrum, and compare with physical expectations. One main focus of this talk will be put on explaining the apparent difficulties in numerically bootstrapping the K3, and their resolutions.
