SUMMARY:The Analytic Bootstrap at Higher Loops
DESCRIPTION:Featuring David Meltzer\, Cal Tech\n\nPart of the HET Seminar S
	eries.\n\nIn this talk I will discuss recent developments in the analytic c
	onformal bootstrap and their application to large classes of conformal fiel
	d theories (CFTs). The analytic bootstrap has revealed that all higher dime
	nsional CFTs contain a weakly coupled sector\, corresponding to operators w
	ith large spin. Through the use of the CFT inversion formula \, I will show
	 how including non-perturbative effects in the large spin expansion improve
	 analytic results for the Ising and O(2) vector model and can yield new pre
	dictions for OPE coefficients. From there\, I will demonstrate how going to
	 higher order in the large spin expansion is related to one-loop Witten dia
	grams in AdS. I will conclude by presenting new results for the conformal b
	lock decomposition of loop-level Witten diagrams and how identities derived
	 from AdS/CFT can be applied to the study of generic CFTs.
