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.
