Theorems for the Lightcone Bootstrap

arXiv:2412.06907 · doi:10.21468/SciPostPhys.18.6.207

Abstract

Consider a conformally covariant four-point function of identical scalar operators with a discrete spectrum, a twist gap, and compatible with the unitarity conditions. We give a mathematical proof confirming that the spectrum and OPE coefficients at large spin and fixed twist always become that of a generalized free field theory.
