We present enhancements to SDPB, an open source, parallelized, arbitrary precision semidefinite program solver designed for the conformal bootstrap. The main enhancement is significantly improved performance and scalability using the Elemental library and MPI. The result is a new version of SDPB that runs on multiple nodes with hundreds of cores with excellent scaling, making it practical to solve larger problems. We demonstrate performance on a moderate-size problem in the 3d Ising CFT and a much larger problem in the $O(2)$ Model.

  1. The Causal Bootstrap: Bounding Smeared Spectral Functions from Non-Perturbative Euclidean Data

    hep-lat 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The causal bootstrap computes rigorous bounds on smeared spectral functions from non-perturbative Euclidean data by optimizing over the convex set of compatible positive spectral densities and reducing dual problems t...

  2. The Phases of the Scalar S-Matrix Island

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The boundary of the scalar S-matrix island divides into phases with universal high-energy asymptotics and resonance content, each corresponding to a different UV completion mechanism for gapped scalars.

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Mode-selective spin-phonon coupling in spin-orbit-coupled Mott insulators generates a peak-dip-peak field dependence in spin heat current via Landauer transport and exact diagonalization.

  4. Negative running of gravitational positivity

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Non-minimal three-point interactions induce negative one-loop running of Wilson coefficients in gravitational EFTs, yet graviton loops generate positive IR contributions that dominate the bounds after smearing if the ...

  5. Bootstrapping Euclidean Two-point Correlators

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A semidefinite programming bootstrap is formulated for Euclidean two-point correlators in quantum mechanics, yielding rigorous bounds and low-lying spectrum extraction in the ungauged one-matrix model.

  6. Bootstrap Cone of the Multicritical Deconfined Quantum Critical Point

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Conformal bootstrap with a sparseness condition produces a cone whose apex matches QMC and fuzzy sphere data for the DQCP, supporting multicriticality via a relevant SO(5) singlet scalar.

  7. Upgrading Extremal Flows in the Space of Derivatives

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A prototype successfully upgrades low-order extremal flow solutions to high numerical order for gap maximization in a simple spinning modular bootstrap test case.

  8. Conformal Bootstrap with Duality-Inspired Fusion Rule

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    Imposing a duality-inspired fusion rule that forbids the [ε] sector from appearing in the [ε] × [ε] OPE yields numerical bounds on (Δ_σ, Δ_ε) that include the 2d Ising model but exclude the 3d Ising model.
