Abstract

We use the numerical conformal bootstrap to study six-dimensional N=(1,0) superconformal field theories with flavor symmetry \mathfrakso_4k. We present evidence that minimal (D_k,D_k) conformal matter saturates the unitarity bounds for arbitrary k. Furthermore, using the extremal-functional method, we check that the chiral-ring relations are correctly reproduced, extract the anomalous dimensions of low-lying long superconformal multiplets, and find hints for novel operator product expansion selection rules involving type-B multiplets.
