The Inversion Formula and 6j Symbol for 3d Fermions

Soner Albayrak, David Meltzer, David Poland

In this work we study the symbol of the conformal group for fermionic operators. In particular, we study 4-point functions containing two fermions and two scalars and als…

Unitarity Methods in AdS/CFT

David Meltzer, Eric Perlmutter, Allic Sivaramakrishnan

We develop a systematic unitarity method for loop-level AdS scattering amplitudes, dual to non-planar CFT correlators, from both bulk and boundary perspectives. We identify cut ope…

AdS/CFT Unitarity at Higher Loops: High-Energy String Scattering

David Meltzer

What is the space of weakly-coupled, gravitational theories which contain massive, higher-spin particles? This class of theories is highly constrained and it is conjectured their u…

Bounds on Triangle Anomalies in (3+1)d

Ying-Hsuan Lin, David Meltzer, Shu-Heng Shao +1

How many charged degrees of freedom are necessary to accommodate a certain amount of 't Hooft anomaly? Using the conformal bootstrap for the four-point function of flavor current m…

More Analytic Bootstrap: Nonperturbative Effects and Fermions

Soner Albayrak, David Meltzer, David Poland

We develop the analytic bootstrap in several directions. First, we discuss the appearance of nonperturbative effects in the Lorentzian inversion formula, which are exponentially su…

Higher Spin ANEC and the Space of CFTs

David Meltzer

We study the positivity properties of the leading Regge trajectory in higher-dimensional, unitary, conformal field theories (CFTs). These conditions correspond to higher spin gener…
