abstract

We consider asymptotically free gauge theories with gauge group $SU(N_c)$ and $N_f$ quarks with mass $m_q\ll \Lambda_{\text{QCD}}$ that undergo chiral symmetry breaking and confinement. We propose a bootstrap method to compute the S-matrix of the pseudo-Goldstone bosons (pions) that dominate the low energy physics. For the important case of $N_c=3$, $N_f=2$, a numerical implementation of the method gives the phase shifts of the $S0$, $P1$ and $S2$ waves in good agreement with experimental results. The method incorporates gauge theory information ($N_c$, $N_f$, $m_q$, $\Lambda_{\text{QCD}}$) by using the form-factor bootstrap recently proposed by Karateev, Kuhn and Penedones together with a finite energy version of the SVZ sum rules. At low energy we impose constraints from chiral symmetry breaking. The only low energy numerical inputs are the pion mass $m_\pi$ and the quark and gluon condensates.

  1. Unitary Dual-Resonance S-matrices

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Smearing Veneziano blocks over continuous Regge slopes yields local, analytic, crossing-symmetric S-matrices with full partial-wave unitarity and controllable second-sheet resonances.

  2. QFT as a set of ODEs: higher dimensions

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors generalize the AdS₂ flow equations for QFT data to AdS₃ and AdS₄, add crossing-based closure and Padé-accelerated sums, and verify them in free theories.

  3. Splitting Regions and Shrinking Islands from Higher Point Constraints

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Imposing 5-point split conditions and unitarity bounds selects the string beta function as the unique 4-point amplitude, up to equal-mass infinite spin towers.

  4. S-matrix bootstrap bounds on self-interacting dark matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Weakly coupled scalar self-interacting dark matter cannot be heavier than ~0.3 GeV (generic) or ~MeV (derivative-coupled pNGB), much tighter than the 12 GeV unitarity bound.
