Large charge bootstrap with U(1) current probes

Abstract

We study the large-charge bootstrap for conformal field theories with a U(1) symmetry extending the analysis of scalar probes to include conserved currents. We formulate the bootstrap equations and analyze their solutions assuming the existence of a non-trivial macroscopic limit and that the spectrum organizes into a finite number of Regge trajectories. We show that current probes lead to additional bootstrap constraints that are absent in the purely scalar case, and we classify the resulting solutions.
