Description

I present an overview on some recent progress in thermal one-point function in CFTs for general odd dimensions. On the one hand, they can be calculated using an extension to finite temperature of analytic bootstrap techniques. On the other hand, they are associated to single-valued polylogarithms which represent multiloop amplitudes in gauge theories. Some possible implications of the latter observation will be discussed.
