The S-matrix Bootstrap II: Two Dimensional Amplitudes
read the original abstract
We consider constraints on the S-matrix of any gapped, Lorentz invariant quantum field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions due to crossing symmetry and unitarity. In this way we establish rigorous bounds on the cubic couplings of a given theory with a fixed mass spectrum. In special cases we identify interesting integrable theories saturating these bounds. Our analytic bounds match precisely with numerical bounds obtained in a companion paper where we consider massive QFT in an AdS box and study boundary correlators using the technology of the conformal bootstrap.

Analytic Bootstrap of the Veneziano Amplitude
The Veneziano amplitude is the unique outcome of an analytic dual bootstrap from dispersive sum rules, unitarity, and either string monodromy or splitting and hidden-zero conditions.

Positivity with Long-Range Interactions
Defines IR-finite amplitudes M_E that preserve analyticity and unitarity to derive positivity bounds on EFTs including electromagnetism and gravity in D=4.

Primal S-matrix bootstrap with dispersion relations
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.
