Abstract
We derive bounds analogous to the Froissart bound for the absorptive part of CFT Mellin amplitudes. Invoking the AdS/CFT correspondence, these amplitudes correspond to scattering in AdS. We can take a flat space limit of the corresponding bound. We find the standard Froissart-Martin bound, including the coefficient in front for being , being the mass of the lightest exchange. For , the form is different. We show that while for , the number of subtractions needed to write a dispersion relation for the Mellin amplitude is equal to 2, for the number of subtractions needed is greater than 2 and goes to infinity as goes to infinity.
