Current numerical conformal bootstrap techniques carve out islands in theory space by repeatedly checking whether points are allowed or excluded. We propose a new method for searching theory space that replaces the binary information "allowed"/"excluded" with a continuous "navigator" function that is negative in the allowed region and positive in the excluded region. Such a navigator function allows one to efficiently explore high-dimensional parameter spaces and smoothly sail towards any islands they may contain. The specific functions we introduce have several attractive features: they are well-defined in large regions of parameter space, can be computed with standard methods, and evaluation of their gradient is immediate due to an SDP gradient formula that we provide. The latter property allows for the use of efficient quasi-Newton optimization methods, which we illustrate by navigating towards the 3d Ising island.

In this paper we introduce and develop the multi-parameter model of random simplicial complexes with randomness present in all dimensions. Various geometric and topological properties of such random simplicial complexes are characterised by convex domains in the high-dimensional parameter space (rather than by intervals, as in the usual one-parameter models). We find conditions under which a multi-parameter random simplicial complex is connected and simply connected. Besides, we give an intrinsic characterisation of the multi-parameter probability measure. We analyse links of simplexes and intersections of multi-parameter random simplicial complexes and show that they are also multi-parameter random simplicial complexes.

Periodicity is ubiquitous in nature. In this work, we analyze the dynamical reasons for which periodic windows, that appear in parameter space diagrams, have different shapes and structures. For that, we make use of a dynamical quantity, called spine — the skeleton of the window, in order to explain a conjecture that describes the presence of periodic windows in the parameter space of high-dimensional chaotic systems.
