AdS bulk locality from sharp CFT bounds
S Caron-Huot, D Mazáč, L Rastelli… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract It is a long-standing conjecture that any CFT with a large central charge and a large
gap∆ gap in the spectrum of higher-spin single-trace operators must be dual to a local …

Towards the non-perturbative cosmological bootstrap
A bstract We study quantum field theory on a de Sitter spacetime dS d+ 1 background. Our
main tool is the Hilbert space decomposition in irreducible unitary representations of its …

Dispersive CFT sum rules
S Caron-Huot, D Mazáč, L Rastelli… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We give a unified treatment of dispersive sum rules for four-point correlators in
conformal field theory. We call a sum rule “dispersive” if it has double zeros at all double …

The analytic functional bootstrap. Part II. Natural bases for the crossing equation
D Mazáč, MF Paulos - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We clarify the relationships between different approaches to the conformal
bootstrap. A central role is played by the so-called extremal functionals. They are linear …

Nonperturbative Mellin amplitudes: existence, properties, applications
A bstract We argue that nonperturbative CFT correlation functions admit a Mellin amplitude
representation. Perturbative Mellin representation readily follows. We discuss the main …

A conformal dispersion relation: correlations from absorption
D Carmi, S Caron-Huot - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We introduce the analog of Kramers-Kronig dispersion relations for correlators of
four scalar operators in an arbitrary conformal field theory. The correlator is expressed as an …

Sphere packing and quantum gravity
We establish a precise relation between the modular bootstrap, used to con-strain the
spectrum of 2D CFTs, and the sphere packing problem in Euclidean geometry. The modular …
