Description
Recently, a new tool has emerged for studying strongly-coupled Conformal Field Theories, based on the old idea of the Conformal Bootstrap. I will describe how the modern bootstrap (originally motivated by questions about Higgs physics) is providing new quantitative and conceptual results about field theories in diverse dimensions.
