Open AccessQCD worldsheet axion from the bootstrap
The worldsheet axion plays a crucial role in the dynamics of the Yang-Mills confining flux tubes. According to the lattice measurements, its mass is of order the string tension and its coupling is close to a c...

Open AccessS-matrix bootstrap for effective field theories: massless pions
We use the numerical S-matrix bootstrap method to obtain bounds on the two leading Wilson coefficients (or low energy constants) of the chiral lagrangian controlling the low-energy dynamics of massless pions. ...

Open AccessDual S-matrix bootstrap. Part I. 2D theory
Using duality in optimization theory we formulate a dual approach to the S-matrix bootstrap that provides rigorous bounds to 2D QFT observables as a consequence of unitarity, crossing symmetry and analyticity ...

Open AccessOn the exactness of soft theorems
Soft behaviours of S-matrix for massless theories reflect the underlying symmetry principle that enforces its masslessness. As an expansion in soft momenta, sub-leading soft theorems can arise either due to (I...

Open AccessThe analytic structure of conformal blocks and the generalized Wilson-Fisher fixed points
We describe in detail the method used in our previous work ar**v:1611.10344 to study the Wilson-Fisher critical points nearby generalized free CFTs, exploiti...

Open AccessExploring soft constraints on effective actions
We study effective actions for simultaneous breaking of space-time and internal symmetries. Novel features arise due to the mixing of Goldstone modes under the broken symmetries which, in contrast to the usual...

Open AccessThe free σCFTs
We introduce the conformal field theories that describe the shadows of the lowest dimension composites made out of massless free scalars and fermions in d dimensions. We argue that these theories can be consisten...
