We derive analytic constraints on the weakly-coupled spectrum of theories with a massless scalar under the standard assumptions of the S-matrix bootstrap program. These bootstrap bounds apply to any theory (with or without gravity) with…
We present a new independent evaluation of the hadronic and QCD contributions to the QED running coupling \alpha(M_Z) and to the muonium hyperfine splitting \nu. We obtain: \Delta\alpha_{had}=2770(17)10^{-5} and \Delta\nu_{had}=232.5(2.5)…
The MUonE experiment aims at providing a new independent evaluation of the leading hadronic contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment. The proposed method is based on the measurement of the running of the QED coupling in the…
We show that for a particular model, the quantum mechanical bootstrap is capable of finding exact results. We consider a solvable system with Hamiltonian $H=SZ(1-Z)S$, where $Z$ and $S$ satisfy canonical commutation relations. While this…
Theories with pseudoscalars that couple through anomalies (such as axion models) are of particular phenomenological interest. We carry out a comprehensive analysis of all bounds obtainable from bootstrapping the amplitudes when a…

The framed standard model (FSM) predicts a $0^+$ boson with mass around 20 MeV in the "hidden sector", which mixes at tree level with the standard Higgs $h_W$ and hence acquires small couplings to quarks and leptons which can be calculated…
We establish a negative moment bound for the sample autocovariance matrix of a stationary process driven by conditional heteroscedastic errors. This moment bound enables us to asymptotically express the mean squared prediction error (MSPE)…
We study gapped 4d quantum field theories (QFTs) obtained from a relevant deformation of a UV conformal field theory (CFT). For simplicity, we assume the existence of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry and a single $\mathbb{Z}_2$-odd stable particle…
We report on our computation of the leading hadronic contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using two dynamical flavours of non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions. The strange quark is introduced in the quenched…

The recent development of bootstrap methods based on semidefinite relaxations of positivity constraints has enabled rigorous two-sided bounds on local observables directly in the thermodynamic limit. However, these bounds inevitably become…

We describe the computation of the one-loop muon anomalous magnetic moment and radiative penguin transitions in the minimal and custodially protected Randall-Sundrum model. A fully five-dimensional (5D) framework is employed to match the 5D…
