MINI-COURS

 

Conformal bootstrap is a mathematically well-defined framework for performing non-perturbative computations in strongly coupled conformal field theories, including theories of real physical interest like the critical point of the 3d Ising model.  In these lectures I will describe the recent advances in this field and the challenges it faces.
