[HTML][HTML] Selected topics in the large quantum number expansion

L Alvarez-Gaume, D Orlando, S Reffert - Physics Reports, 2021 - Elsevier
In this review we study quantum field theories and conformal field theories with global
symmetries in the limit of large charge for some of the generators of the symmetry group. At …

Gravitational effective field theory islands, low-spin dominance, and the four-graviton amplitude

Z Bern, D Kosmopoulos… - Journal of Physics A …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze constraints from perturbative unitarity and crossing on the leading contributions
of higher-dimension operators to the four-graviton amplitude in four spacetime dimensions …

Snowmass white paper: S-matrix bootstrap

M Kruczenski, J Penedones, BC van Rees - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
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 underlying …

Bootstrapping pions at large N

J Albert, L Rastelli - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We revisit from a modern bootstrap perspective the longstanding problem of
solving QCD in the large N limit. We derive universal bounds on the effective field theory of …

Snowmass white paper: UV constraints on IR physics

C de Rham, S Kundu, M Reece, AJ Tolley… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Fundamental principles of local quantum field theory or of quantum gravity can enforce
consistency requirements on the space of consistent low-energy effective field theories. We …

The stringy S-matrix bootstrap: maximal spin and superpolynomial softness

K Häring, A Zhiboedov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We explore the space of meromorphic amplitudes with extra constraints coming
from the shape of the leading Regge trajectory. This information comes in two guises: it …

Snowmass white paper: higher spin gravity and higher spin symmetry

X Bekaert, N Boulanger, A Campoleoni… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Higher Spin Gravity refers to extensions of gravity including at least one field of spin greater
than two. These extensions are expected to provide manageable models of quantum gravity …

An analytical toolkit for the S-matrix bootstrap

M Correia, A Sever, A Zhiboedov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We revisit analytical methods for constraining the nonperturbative S-matrix of
unitary, relativistic, gapped theories in d≥ 3 spacetime dimensions. We assume extended …

A CFT distance conjecture

E Perlmutter, L Rastelli, C Vafa, I Valenzuela - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We formulate a series of conjectures relating the geometry of conformal manifolds
to the spectrum of local operators in conformal field theories in d> 2 spacetime dimensions …

Stringy dynamics from an amplitudes bootstrap

C Cheung, GN Remmen - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We describe an analytic procedure whereby scattering amplitudes are bootstrapped directly
from an input mass spectrum and a handful of physical constraints: crossing symmetry …
