Popis: We study various questions related to operators with spin in quantum conformal field theory in dimensions higher than two. In particular, we classify conformally-invariant tensor structures which appear in correlation functions of local operators and develop tools for computation of conformal blocks which contribute to these functions. We study the crossing equations for four-point functions using numerical and analytical techniques. Finally, we explore the question of analytic continuation of local operators in spin, which leads us to a simple proof of a generalized Lorentzian inversion formula.
