A conformal bootstrap approach to the Potts model

A conformal bootstrap approach to the Potts model

We study four-point functions of the Potts model, with two-dimensional critical percolation as a special case. We propose an exact ansatz for the spectrum: an infinite, discrete and non-diagonal combination of representations of the Virasoro algebra. Based on this ansatz, we compute four-point functions using a numerical conformal bootstrap approach. The results agree with Monte-Carlo computations of connectivities of random clusters.
