Description
In this talk we will present an overview of the N=2
superconformal bootstrap program. We will introduce a
protected subsector present in any 4d N=2 SCFT whose
correlation functions are captured by a two-dimensional chiral
algebra. Thanks to a subtle interplay between 4d and 2d
quantities, it is possible to obtain analytic constraints that
severely reduce the space of theories. Once an overall picture
of the landscape is obtained, one can then use modern
numerical techniques and attempt to solve individual theories
numerically.
