contents The paradigmatic example of deconfined quantum criticality is the Neel-VBS phase transition. The continuum description of this transition is the $N=2$ case of the $CP^{N-1}$ model, which is a field theory of $N$ complex scalars in 3d coupled to an Abelian gauge field with $SU(N)\times U(1)$ global symmetry. Lattice studies and duality arguments suggest the global symmetry of the $CP^1$ model is enhanced to $SO(5)$. We perform a conformal bootstrap study of $SO(5)$ invariant fixed points with one relevant $SO(5)$ singlet operator, which would correspond to two relevant $SU(2)\times U(1)$ singlets, i.e. a tricritical point. We find that the bootstrap bounds are saturated by four different predictions from the large $N$ computation of monopole operator scaling dimensions, which were recently shown to be very accurate even for small $N$. This suggests that the Neel-VBS phase transition is described by this bootstrap bound, which predicts that the second relevant singlet has dimension $\approx 2.36$.
