S-matrix Bootstrap for Effective Field Theories: Massless Pions

Andrea Guerrieri, Joao Penedones, Pedro Vieira

We use the numerical S-matrix bootstrap method to obtain bounds on the two leading Wilson coefficients of the chiral lagrangian controlling the low-energy dynamics of massless pion…

Opacity from Loops in AdS

Alexandria Costantino, Sylvain Fichet

We investigate how quantum dynamics affects the propagation of a scalar field in Lorentzian AdS. We work in momentum space, in which the propagator admits two spectral representati…

Dual S-matrix Bootstrap I: 2D Theory

Andrea L Guerrieri, Alexandre Homrich, Pedro Vieira

Using duality in optimization theory we formulate a dual approach to the S-matrix bootstrap that provides rigorous bounds to 2D QFT observables as a consequence of unitarity, cross…

Multipoint Bootstrap I: Light-Cone Snowflake OPE and the WL Origin

Carlos Bercini, Vasco Gonçalves, Pedro Vieira

We initiate an exploration of the conformal bootstrap for point correlation functions. Here we bootstrap correlation functions of the lightest scalar gauge invariant operator…

Large explorations. From SUGRA to big STRINGS in Mellin space

Francesco Aprile, Pedro Vieira

We explore a new way of probing scattering of closed strings in , which we call `the large limit'. It consists of studying four-point correlators of single-par…

Decagon at Two Loops

Thiago Fleury, Vasco Goncalves

We have computed the simplest five point function in SYM at two loops using the hexagonalization approach to correlation functions. Along the way we have determin…

Effective Field Theory in AdS: Continuum Regime, Soft Bombs, and IR Emergence

Alexandria Costantino, Sylvain Fichet, Philip Tanedo

We consider a scalar field in a slice of Lorentzian five-dimensional AdS at arbitrary energies. We show that the presence of bulk interactions separate the behavior of the theory i…
