Abstract
We study the conformal bootstrap constraints for 3D conformal field theories with a ℤ_2 or parity symmetry, assuming a single relevant scalar operator ϵ that is invariant under the symmetry. When there is additionally a single relevant odd scalar σ, we map out the allowed space of dimensions and three-point couplings of such “Ising-like” CFTs. If we allow a second relevant odd scalar σ′, we identify a feature in the allowed space compatible with 3D NN = 1 superconformal symmetry and conjecture that it corresponds to the minimal NN = 1 supersymmetric extension of the Ising CFT. This model has appeared in previous numerical bootstrap studies, as well as in proposals for emergent supersymmetry on the boundaries of topological phases of matter. Adding further constraints from 3D NN =1 superconformal symmetry, we isolate this theory and use the numerical bootstrap to compute the leading scaling dimensions Δ_σ = Δ_ϵ − 1 = .58444(22) and three-point couplings λ_(σσϵ) = 1.0721(2) and λ_(ϵϵϵ)= 1.67(1). We additionally place bounds on the central charge and use the extremal functional method to estimate the dimensions of the next several operators in the spectrum. Based on our results we observe the possible exact relation λ_(ϵϵϵ)/λ_(σσϵ) = tan(1).
