Solving M-theory with the conformal bootstrap

Abstract We use the conformal bootstrap to perform a precision study of 3d maximally supersymmetric ( N=8 $$ \mathcal{N}=8 $$) SCFTs that describe the IR physics on N coincident M2-branes placed either in flat space or at a ℂ4 /ℤ2 singularity. First, using the explicit Lagrangians of ABJ(M) [1, 2] a...
