Description

I'll describe recent explorations of the idea of reorganizing CFT data into "moment" variables, describing statistical properties of the OPE measure for a given 4-point function. These moments capture coarse-grained information about the CFT data and are tightly constrained by crossing symmetry even at large external dimensions, giving rise to a powerful new way to map out theory space.
