Description

We discuss how crossing symmetry constraints can be analytically continued to non-integer space-time dimension, allowing a formulation of the bootstrap program in fractional dimensions. We show evidences of the existence of a families of CFT's connecting the Ising Model in 2D and the Wison-Fisher perturbative fixed points. We analyze properties of these CFT's and we compare with known results.
