Title: On Analytic Bootstrap for Interface and Boundary CFT

Abstract: We use analytic bootstrap techniques for a CFT with an interface or a boundary. Exploiting the analytic structure of the bulk and boundary conformal blocks we extract the CFT data. We further constrain the CFT data by applying the equation of motion to the boundary operator expansion. The method presented in this paper is general, and it is illustrated in the context of perturbative Wilson-Fisher theories. In particular, we find constraints on the OPE coefficients for the conformal interface CFT in $4 - \epsilon$ dimensions (upto order $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon^2)$) with $\phi^4$-interactions in the bulk. We also compute the corresponding coefficients for the non-unitary $\phi^3$-theory in $6 - \epsilon$ dimensions in the presence of a conformal boundary equipped with either Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions upto order $\mathcal{O}(\epsilon)$, or an interface upto order $\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{\epsilon})$.
