Description

I will discuss the several things we know, believe or would like to be true about conformal correlation functions. I will focus in particular on the large ∆ limit corresponding to the flat-space limit of a gapped QFT in AdS. Examples are correlator bounds and their connection to Haag-Ruelle theory, the conformal dispersion relation, and Mellin space expressions for multi-point correlation functions.
