Bootstrapping $N=2$ SCFTs

We discuss the bootstrap program applied to four-dimensional $N=2$ superconformal field theories, with special focus on analytical results. As a particular case we also consider the recently found $N=3$ SCFTs in four dimensions. We constrain the allowed space of SCFTs by making use of the existence of a protected subsector captured by a two-dimensional chiral algebra. Finally we discuss implications for the numerical bootstrap program.
