Sharp boundaries for the swampland
A bstract We reconsider the problem of bounding higher derivative couplings in consistent
weakly coupled gravitational theories, starting from general assumptions about analyticity …

Analyticity and unitarity for cosmological correlators
A bstract We study the fundamentals of quantum field theory on a rigid de Sitter space. We
show that the perturbative expansion of late-time correlation functions to all orders can be …

Causality constraints on corrections to Einstein gravity
A bstract We study constraints from causality and unitarity on 2→ 2 graviton scattering in four-
dimensional weakly-coupled effective field theories. Together, causality and unitarity imply …

AdS bulk locality from sharp CFT bounds
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 …

Snowmass white paper: S-matrix bootstrap
M Kruczenski, J Penedones, BC van Rees - ar** 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 …

Dispersive CFT sum rules
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 …

Snowmass white paper: UV constraints on IR physics
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 …
