Mysteries in the Conformal Bootstrap
I will describe some situations where mysterious features have appeared in numerical studies of the conformal bootstrap. It is tempting to speculate that they may correspond to new CFTs, but we do not yet have good guesses for a microscopic description of these theories. This may be an interesting topic for discussion.
