Title: Bootstrapping ground state correlators in matrix theory. Part I
A<sc>bstract</sc> The D0-brane/Banks-Fischler-Shenker-Susskind matrix theory is a strongly coupled quantum system with an interesting gravity dual. We develop a scheme to derive bootstrap bounds on simple correlators in the matrix theory at infiniteNat zero energy by imposing the supercharge equations of motion. By exploiting SO(9) symmetry, we are able to consider single-trace operators involving words of length up to 9 using very modest computational resources. We interpret our initial results as strong evidence that the bootstrap method can efficiently access physics in the strongly coupled, infiniteNregime.  more » « less

    A<sc>bstract</sc> We review the effective field theory (EFT) bootstrap by formulating it as an infinite-dimensional semidefinite program (SDP), built from the crossing symmetric sum rules and the S-matrix primal ansatz. We apply the program to study the large-Nchiral perturbation theory (χPT) and observe excellent convergence of EFT bounds between the dual (rule-out) and primal (rule-in) methods. This convergence aligns with the predictions of duality theory in SDP, enabling us to analyze the bound states and resonances in the ultra-violet (UV) spectrum. Furthermore, we incorporate the upper bound of unitarity to uniformly constrain the EFT space from the UV scaleMusing the primal method, thereby confirming the consistency of the large-Nexpansion. In the end, we translate the large-N χPT bounds to constrain the higher derivative corrections of holographic QCD models.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> We combine supersymmetric localization with the numerical conformal bootstrap to bound the scaling dimension and OPE coefficient of the lowest-dimension unprotected operator in$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SU(N) super-Yang-Mills theory for a wide range ofNand Yang-Mills couplingsgYM. We find that our bounds are approximately saturated by weak coupling results at smallgYM. Furthermore, at largeNour bounds interpolate between integrability results for the Konishi operator at smallgYMand strong-coupling results, including the first few stringy corrections, for the lowest-dimension double-trace operator at largegYM. In particular, our scaling dimension bounds describe the level splitting between the single- and double-trace operators at intermediate coupling.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> Conformal field theories that exhibit spontaneous breaking of conformal symmetry (a moduli space of vacua) must satisfy a set of bootstrap constraints, involving the usual data (scaling dimensions and OPE coefficients) as well as new data such as the spectrum of asymptotic states in the broken vacuum and form factors. The simplest bootstrap equation arises by expanding a two-point function of local operators in two channels, at short distance using the OPE and at large distance using the EFT in the broken vacuum. We illustrate this equation in what is arguably the simplest perturbative model that exhibits conformal symmetry breaking, namely the real ABC model ind= 4 −ϵdimensions. We investigate the convergence properties of the bootstrap equation and check explicitly many of the non-trivial relations that it imposes on theory data.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> We analyze correlation functions of SU(k) × SU(2)Fflavor currents in a family of three-dimensional$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 superconformal field theories, combining analytic bootstrap methods with input from supersymmetric localization. Via holographic duality, we extract gluon and graviton scattering amplitudes of M-theory on AdS4×S7/ℤkwhich contains a ℂ2/ℤkorbifold singularity. From these results, we derive aspects of the effective description of M-theory on the orbifold singularity beyond its leading low energy limit. We also determine a threshold correction to the holographic correlator from the combined contribution of two-loop gluon and tree-level bulk graviton exchange.

    A<sc>bstract</sc> We study the duality between the Spin(32)/ℤ2heterotic string without vector structure and F-theory with frozen singularities. We give a complete description in theories with 6d$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (1, 0) supersymmetry and identify the duals of Spin(32)/ℤ2-instantons on ADE singularities without vector structure in the frozen phase of F-theory using an ansatz introduced by Bhardwaj, Morrison, Tachikawa, and Tomasiello. As a consequence, we obtain a strongly coupled description of orbifold phases of type I string theory without vector structure, substantially expanding the list of known examples of 6d F-theory compactifications with frozen singularities. Supergravity theories can befusedfrom these instanton theories, in a way that commutes with switching off vector structure, which we use to propose new consistency checks via neutral hypermultiplet counting. Finally, we describe various Higgsings of this duality, and comment on constraints on higher form symmetries.
