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. 

A massive quantum field theory can be put in a large AdS space, i.e. in a box. Its correlators define, as they approach the boundary, a conformal theory. The bootstrap of the latter can pose strong constraints on the former as we will describe. We will then initiate a presentation of the general and of the peculiar features of S-matrices in two dimensions.
