A Semidefinite Program Solver for the Conformal Bootstrap

6 Feb 2015  ·  David Simmons-Duffin ·

We introduce SDPB: an open-source, parallelized, arbitrary-precision semidefinite program solver, designed for the conformal bootstrap. SDPB significantly outperforms less specialized solvers and should enable many new computations. As an example application, we compute a new rigorous high-precision bound on operator dimensions in the 3d Ising CFT, $\Delta_\sigma=0.518151(6)$, $\Delta_\epsilon=1.41264(6)$.
