Machine-learning optimization produces candidate truncated modular-invariant partition functions for 2d CFTs in the central-charge window 1 to 8/7, indicating a continuous solution space and a stricter spectral-gap bound than the prior c/6 + 1/3 limit.
Defines IR-finite amplitudes M_E that preserve analyticity and unitarity to derive positivity bounds on EFTs including electromagnetism and gravity in D=4.
A primal S-matrix bootstrap framework parameterizes imaginary parts of partial waves, uses dispersion relations to enforce consistency, computes coupling bounds, and handles Regge behavior plus spinning states like glueballs.
