abstract

We solve crossing equations analytically in the deep Euclidean regime. Large scaling dimension $\Delta$ tails of the weighted spectral density of primary operators of given spin in one channel are matched to the Euclidean OPE data in the other channel. Subleading $1\over \Delta$ tails are systematically captured by including more operators in the Euclidean OPE in the dual channel. We use dispersion relations for conformal partial waves in the complex $\Delta$ plane, the Lorentzian inversion formula and complex tauberian theorems to derive this result. We check our formulas in a few examples (for CFTs and scattering amplitudes) and find perfect agreement. Moreover, in these examples we observe that the large $\Delta$ expansion works very well already for small $\Delta \sim 1$. We make predictions for the 3d Ising model. Our analysis of dispersion relations via complex tauberian theorems is very general and could be useful in many other contexts.

  1. OPE = QNM

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.5 of 10

    OPE and QNM representations of the mixed retarded correlator overlap in complex time, giving an explicit map, sum rules, and new QNM asymptotics for large-N thermal CFTs.

  2. Analytic thermal bootstrap in momentum space: From thermal OPE to QNMs

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    KMS-symmetric thermal Polyakov blocks Fourier-transform into asymptotic retarded correlators, yielding inversion formulae that express thermal OPE coefficients in terms of quasinormal-mode frequencies under meromorphicity.

  3. Heavy-Heavy-Light Asymptotics from Thermal Correlators

    hep-th 2025-06 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors derive and test systematic large-dimension asymptotics for heavy-heavy-light OPE coefficients in 3D CFTs from thermal one-point functions on S1 x S2.

  4. The analytic bootstrap at finite temperature

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Universal dispersion-based formulae for thermal two-point functions of scalars that satisfy bootstrap axioms except clustering at infinite distance.

  5. Black Holes and Random Variables

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    High-energy CFT and black-hole interval counts are conjectured to obey the FHK extreme-value law; the resulting O(1) erratic fluctuations limit semiclassical AdS precision to e^{-S0}.
