Description

The vast majority of CFT bootstrap research makes use of scalar blocks due to the technical complication of going beyond where general analytic results are few and far between. As a first step to help go beyond we obtain a simple analytic  formula for conserved higher spin 3-point tensor structures in 4d CFT. We do this not by directly solving the conservation conditions but rather in an unorthodox but very simple approach by lifting to analytic superspace, solving the constraints there and then reducing back down to the non supersymmetric case. I will also comment on work in progress in other dimensions.
