We revisit the space of gapped quantum field theories with a global O(N) symmetry in two spacetime dimensions. Previous works using S-matrix bootstrap revealed a rich space in which integrable theories such as the non-linear sigma model appear at special points on the boundary, along with an abundance of unknown models hinting at a non conventional UV behaviour. We extend the S-matrix set-up by including into the bootstrap form factors and spectral functions for the stress-energy tensor and conserved O(N) currents. Sum rules allow us to put bounds on the central charges of the conformal field theory (CFT) in the UV. We find that a big portion of the boundary can only flow from CFTs with infinite central charges. We track this result down to a particular behaviour of the amplitudes in physical kinematics and discuss its physical implications.

  1. Running EFT-hedron with null constraints at loop level

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    One-loop massless corrections modify the null constraints of shift-symmetric scalar EFTs, and IR-finite combinations of them reproduce tree-level bounds in the weak-coupling limit while deforming bounds in five and si...

    A universal finite-energy upper bound on the integrated cross-section for identical scalars is derived; the conjectured saturating "Froissart amplitude" shows Regge trajectories, a rising cross-section, and annulus-li...

  3. On the space of U(N) scattering amplitudes

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New rigorous bounds chart the allowed space of U(N) symmetric 2D scattering amplitudes, with a previously overlooked integrable solution (class VII) at the boundary and periodic extremal amplitudes.

  4. Bootstrapping Gravity with Crossing Symmetric Dispersion Relations

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A crossing-symmetric dispersion-relation bootstrap reproduces known gravitational EFT bounds and gives new tree-level limits on the graviton coupling to a massive spin-4 state.
