F-extremization determines certain large-N CFTs

Abstract We show that the conformal data of a range of large-N CFTs, the melonic CFTs, are specified by constrained extremization of the universal part of the sphere free energy F = − log Z S d $$ {Z}_{S^d} $$ , called F ~ $$ \overset{\sim }{F} $$ . This family includes the generalized SYK models, t...
