چکیده
We introduce an approach to find approximate numerical solutions of truncated bootstrap equations for Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) in arbitrary dimensions. The method is based on a stochastic search via Metropolis algorithm guided by action $S$ which the logarithm single scalar field correlator. While conformal methods semi-definite programming put rigorous exclusion bounds CFTs, this looks solutions, correspond local minima $S$, when present, and can be even far from extremality region. By protocol we that if no constraint operator scaling dimensions imposed, has minimum, corresponding Free Theory. If fix external dimension, however, encounter studied with our approach. Imposing conserved stress-tensor, $\mathbf{Z}_2$ symmetry one relevant scalar, identify two regions where are present. When projected $(\Delta_\sigma, \Delta_{\epsilon})$-plane, $\sigma$ $\epsilon$ being lightest exchanged operators, these essentially coincides line found previous studies. other region along generalized free theories $d = 2$ below both 3$ 4$. empirically prove some associated known theories, including $2d$ $3d$ Ising Yang-Lee model.

The bootstrap and Markov-chain Monte Carlo.
This note concerns the use of parametric bootstrap sampling to carry out Bayesian inference calculations. This is only possible in a subset of those problems amenable to Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis, but when feasible the bootstrap approach offers both computational and theoretical advantages. The discussion here is in terms of a simple example, with no attempt at a general analysis.
متن کاملA conformal bootstrap approach to critical percolation in two dimensions
We study four-point functions of critical percolation in two dimensions, and more generally of the Potts model. We propose an exact ansatz for the spectrum: an infinite, discrete and non-diagonal combination of representations of the Virasoro algebra. Based on this ansatz, we compute four-point functions using a numerical conformal bootstrap approach. The results agree with Monte-Carlo computat...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Approach to Sequence Assembly
Motivation: Assembling shotgun sequencing data from repetitive DNA sequences is a non-trivial task. In existing sequence assembly methods repeats are resolved by either using statistical analyses to identify and separate fragments corresponding to repeats, or by using extra information, not contained in the fragments. In this paper we take a different approach. Using the simulated-tempering Mon...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Approach to M-Theory
We discuss supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory dimensionally reduced to zero dimensions and evaluate the SU(2) and SU(3) partition functions by Monte Carlo methods. The exactly known SU(2) results are reproduced to very high precision. Our calculations for SU(3) agree closely with an extension of a conjecture due to Green and Gutperle concerning the exact value of the SU(N) partition functions. ∗k...
متن کاملOptions: a Monte Carlo Approach
This paper develops a Monte Carlo simulation method for solving option valuation problems. The method simulates the process generating the returns on the underlying asset and invokes the risk neutrality assumption to derive the value of the option. Techniques for improving the efficiency of the method are introduced. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the procedure and additional a...
