Selected topics in analytic conformal bootstrap : A guided journey

• This review aims to offer a pedagogical introduction to the analytic conformal bootstrap program via a journey through selected topics. We review analytic methods which include the large spin perturbation theory, Mellin space methods and the Lorentzian inversion formula. These techniques are applied to a variety of topics ranging from large -N theories, to the epsilon expansion and holographic superconformal correlators, and are demonstrated in a large number of explicit examples.
