Abstract:
We introduce the spectral function method in the context of conformal bootstrap. As an application, we find substantial evidence for the conjecture that the only unitary c>1 CFT with Virasoro primaries of bounded spin is Liouville theory. We also analyze the spectral density of large c CFTs with large gap, and discuss the (non-)universality of the entropy of BTZ black holes.
