Positivity in energy correlators and the event distribution formula

Alexandre Belin, Nathan Borak, Johan Henriksson +2

Energy correlators are universal observables, well defined across a wide range of theories and spacetime dimensions, from gauge theory and conformal field theory to string theory.…

Holographic duality from Howe duality: Chern-Simons gravity as an ensemble of code CFTs

Anatoly Dymarsky, Johan Henriksson, Brian McPeak

We discuss the holographic correspondence between 3d "Chern-Simons gravity" and an ensemble of 2d Narain code CFTs. Starting from 3d abelian Chern-Simons theory, we construct an en…

The tricritical Ising CFT and conformal bootstrap

Johan Henriksson

The tricritical Ising CFT is the IR fixed-point of theory. It can be seen as a one-parameter family of CFTs connecting between an -expansion near the upper crit…

Positivity Bounds on Massive Vectors

Francesco Bertucci, Johan Henriksson, Brian McPeak +3

In this paper, we explore positivity bounds for the effective field theory~(EFT) of a single weakly coupled massive vector field. The presence of both mass and spin makes the cross…

Bootstrapping mesons at large : Regge trajectory from spin-two maximization

Jan Albert, Johan Henriksson, Leonardo Rastelli +1

We continue the investigation of large QCD from a modern bootstrap perspective, focusing on the mesons. We make the natural spectral assumption that the pion amplitud…

Missing local operators, zeros, and twist-4 trajectories

Johan Henriksson, Petr Kravchuk, Brett Oertel

The number of local operators in a CFT below a given twist grows with spin. Consistency with analyticity in spin then requires that at low spin, infinitely many Regge trajectories…

Bounding Violations of the Weak Gravity Conjecture

Johan Henriksson, Brian McPeak, Francesco Russo +1

The black hole weak gravity conjecture (WGC) is a set of linear inequalities on the four-derivative corrections to Einstein--Maxwell theory. Remarkably, in four dimensions, these c…
