Abstract

I will describe ongoing work with Miguel Paulos, Joao Penedones, Jon Toledo and  Balt van Rees. We are attempting to bootstrap massive quantum field theories. 

We formulate a massive S-matrix bootstrap which we analyze both numerically and analytically. We confront our findings with the conformal theory results of lecture 1. We will derive analytic bounds for the couplings in massive 2d QFTs and observe that the Ising field theory with magnetic field lies precisely at the boundary of these bounds.  We conclude with higher dimensional speculations.
