Event details
Constructing the BMS Bootstrap
We elaborate on aspects of the recently introduced BMS bootstrap programme. We consider 2d field theories with BMS3 symmetry and extensively use highest weight representations to uncover the BMS version of crossing symmetry in 4-point functions that are constrained by symmetry. The BMS bootstrap equation is formulated and then analytic expressions for BMS blocks are constructed by looking at the limit of large central charges. These results are also applicable to 2d Galilean Conformal Field Theories through the isomorphism between the BMS3 and 2d Galilean Conformal Algebras. We recover our previously obtained results in the non-relativistic limit of the corresponding ones in 2d relativistic CFTs. This provides a comprehensive check of our previous analysis.
