construct and classify [[conformal field theories]] [[non-perturbative field theory|non-perturbatively]] by [[axiom|axiomatizing]] the properties of their [[operator product expansion]]/[[correlation functions]]. The conformal bootstrap was proposed in the 1970s as a strategy for calculating the properties of second-order [[phase transitions]]. After spectacular success elucidating two-dimensional systems, little progress was made on systems in higher dimensions until a recent renaissance beginning in 2008 (\hyperlink{PolandSimmonsDuffin16}{Poland-Simmons-Duffin 16}). The generalization of the conformal bootstrap to [[superconformal field theories]] has the potential to provide, via [[AdS/CFT]], a precise and detailed construction of [[large-N limit|large-N]] and [[asymptotic boundary|asymptotically]] [[anti-de Sitter spacetime|AdS]] [[string theory|string]]/[[M-theory]]. \hypertarget{related_concepts}{}\subsection*{{Related concepts}}\label{related_concepts} \begin{itemize}% \item [[Wightman axioms]], [[conformal net]] \end{itemize} \hypertarget{references}{}\subsection*{{References}}\label{references} \hypertarget{general}{}\subsubsection*{{General}}\label{general} \begin{itemize}% \item [[Alexander Belavin]], [[Alexander Polyakov]], [[Alexander Zamolodchikov]], (1984). \emph{Infinite conformal symmetry in two-dimensional quantum field theory}.
