A bstractIn this work we initiate the conformal bootstrap program for N=2$$\mathcal{N}=2$$ super-conformal field theories in four dimensions. We promote an abstract operator-algebraic viewpoint in order to unify the description of Lagrangian and non-Lagrangian theories, and formulate various conjectures concerning the landscape of theories. We analyze in detail the four-point functions of flavor symmetry current multiplets and of N=2$$\mathcal{N}=2$$ chiral operators. For both correlation…
