Theorems for the Lightcone Bootstrap
Balt C. van Rees
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 ma…
Flat-space Partial Waves From Conformal OPE Densities
Balt C. van Rees, Xiang Zhao
We consider the behavior of the OPE density for conformal four-point functions in the flat-space limit where all scaling dimensions become large. We find evidence that…
Perturbative RG flows in AdS: an étude
Edoardo Lauria, Michael N. Milam, Balt C. van Rees
We discuss general properties of perturbative RG flows in AdS with a focus on the treatment of boundary conditions and infrared divergences. In contrast with flat-space boundary QF…
Snowmass White Paper: S-matrix Bootstrap
Martin Kruczenski, Joao Penedones, Balt C. van Rees
The S-matrix Bootstrap originated on the idea that the S-matrix might be fully constrained by global symmetries, crossing, unitarity, and analyticity without relying on an underlyi…
Navigator Function for the Conformal Bootstrap
Marten Reehorst, Slava Rychkov, David Simmons-Duffin +3
Current numerical conformal bootstrap techniques carve out islands in theory space by repeatedly checking whether points are allowed or excluded. We propose a new method for search…
Counterterms in Truncated Conformal Perturbation Theory
Daniel Rutter, Balt C. van Rees
We investigate the perturbative renormalisation of deformed conformal field theories from the Hamiltonian perspective. We discuss the relation with conformal perturbation theory, t…
