The boundary of the scalar S-matrix island divides into phases with universal high-energy asymptotics and resonance content, each corresponding to a different UV completion mechanism for gapped scalars.
Non-minimal three-point interactions induce negative one-loop running of Wilson coefficients in gravitational EFTs, yet graviton loops generate positive IR contributions that dominate the bounds after smearing if the species number is bounded.
A semidefinite programming bootstrap is formulated for Euclidean two-point correlators in quantum mechanics, yielding rigorous bounds and low-lying spectrum extraction in the ungauged one-matrix model.
A prototype successfully upgrades low-order extremal flow solutions to high numerical order for gap maximization in a simple spinning modular bootstrap test case.
Imposing a duality-inspired fusion rule that forbids the [ε] sector from appearing in the [ε] × [ε] OPE yields numerical bounds on (Δ_σ, Δ_ε) that include the 2d Ising model but exclude the 3d Ising model.

Conformal Bootstrap with Duality-Inspired Fusion Rule
Imposing a duality-inspired fusion rule that forbids the [ε] sector from appearing in the [ε] × [ε] OPE yields numerical bounds on (Δ_σ, Δ_ε) that include the 2d Ising model but exclude the 3d Ising model.
