The boundary correlation functions for a Quantum Field Theory (QFT) in an Anti-de Sitter (AdS) background can stay conformally covariant even if the bulk theory undergoes a renormalization group (RG) flow. Studying such correlation functions with the numerical conformal bootstrap leads to non-perturbative constraints that must hold along the entire flow. In this paper we carry out this analysis for the sine-Gordon RG flows in AdS$_2$, which start with a free (compact) scalar in the UV and end with well-known massive integrable theories that saturate many S-matrix bootstrap bounds. We numerically analyze the correlation functions of both breathers and kinks and provide a detailed comparison with perturbation theory near the UV fixed point. Our bounds are often saturated to one or two orders in perturbation theory, as well as in the flat-space limit, but not necessarily in between.

  1. QFT as a set of ODEs

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Derives universal first-order ODEs governing the RG flow of boundary operator data (scaling dimensions, OPE and BOE coefficients) for 2D QFTs on hyperbolic space.

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5

    Liénard–Wiechert fields and flat-space antipodal matching arise by expressing a static Coulomb seed in geodesic-centered coordinates, with exact bulk antipodal covariance in AdS reducing to the usual matching at null fringes.

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0

    The Coulombic Liénard–Wiechert field in AdS and flat space is obtained by recentering the static Coulomb seed on the source geodesic, and antipodal matching emerges as the flat-space limit of an exact bulk antipodal c...

    Generalizes flow ODEs for QFT data in AdS3/AdS4, capturing operator merger-annihilation and level repulsion, with efficiency gains from crossing equations and Padé approximants.
