Bootstrapping the Three-dimensional Ising Model
Year: 2017
Type: dissertation
Abstract: This thesis begins with the fundamentals of conformal field theory in three dimensions. The general properties of the conformal bootstrap are then reviewed. The three-dimensional Ising model is presented from the perspective of the renormalization group, after which the conformal field theory aspect at the critical point is discussed. Finally, the bootstrap programme is applied to the three-dimensional Ising model using numerical techniques, and the results analysed.
