Abstract：3D critical phenomena are in general difficult problems. In the past decade, powerful techniques were developed to study criticality following the bootstrap idea: using consistency conditions, one can constrain the macroscopic theory without reference to specific microscopic details. In some cases, the constraints almost uniquely determine the theory and one obtains very precise critical exponents. In this talk, I will explain how conformal bootstrap works and overview recent progress. I will discuss in more detail on the 3D O(3) CFT bootstrap and its implication for the cubic model.
