The low energy $S$-matrix which describes non-relativistic scattering arising from finite-range forces has UV/IR symmetries that are hidden in the corresponding effective field theory (EFT) action. It is shown that the $S$-matrix symmetries…
We bootstrap the S-matrix of massless particles in unitary, relativistic two dimensional quantum field theories. We find that the low energy expansion of such S-matrices is strongly constrained by the existence of a UV completion. In the…
We consider irrelevant deformations of massless RSOS scattering theories by an infinite number of higher TTbar_{s+1} operators which introduce extra non-trivial CDD factors between left-movers and right-movers. It is shown that the…
This work, which accompanies [1], is about constructing smooth solutions in type II and eleven dimensional supergravity which describe supersymmetry preserving RG flows from four-dimensional SCFTs in the UV to three-dimensional SQFTs in the…
Type IIB S-folds of the form $\,\textrm{AdS}_{4} \times \textrm{S}^1 \times \textrm{S}^5\,$ are conjectured to correspond to new strongly coupled three-dimensional CFT's on a localised interface of $\,\textrm{SYM}_{4}\,$. In this work we…
We show that crossing symmetry of S-matrices is modified in certain theories with non-invertible symmetries or anomalies. Focusing on integrable flows to gapped phases in two dimensions, we find that S-matrices derived previously from the…
We initiate the S-matrix bootstrap analysis of theories with non-invertible symmetries in (1+1) dimensions. Our previous work showed that crossing symmetry of S-matrices in such theories is modified, with modification characterized by the…
We study the spectrum, the massless S-matrices and the ground-state energy of the flows between successive minimal models of conformal field theory, and within the sine-Gordon model with imaginary coefficient of the cosine term (related to…
A new set of exact scattering matrices in 1+1 dimensions is proposed by solving the bootstrap equations. Extending earlier constructions of colour valued scattering matrices this new set has its colour structure associated to non…
We review some recent results concerning integrable quantum field theories in 1+1 space-time dimensions which contain unstable particles in their spectrum. Recalling first the main features of analytic scattering theories associated to…
We construct infinite-dimensional R-matrices that generalise the relativistic scattering of massless modes with the same chirality on $\mathrm{AdS}_2$ near the Berestein-Maldacena-Nastase vacuum. We show that the infrared limit of the…
We derive the exact S-matrix for the scattering of particular representations of the centrally-extended psu(1|1)^2 Lie superalgebra, conjectured to be related to the massive modes of the light-cone gauge string theory on AdS_2 x S^2 x T^6.…
The scattering patterns near the primary rainbow of oblate drops are simulated by extending the vectorial complex ray model (VCRM) [1] to three-dimensional (3D) calculations. With the curvature of wavefront as intrinsic property of a ray,…
We obtain general bounds on scattering processes involving charged particles in 1+1 spacetime dimensions. After a general analysis we derive mostly numerical bounds on couplings in theories with $O(N)$ and $U(N)$ global symmetries. The…
We construct a continuous one parameter family of $AdS_4\times S^1\times S^5$ S-fold solutions of type IIB string theory which have nontrivial $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ monodromy in the $S^1$ direction. The solutions span a subset of a conformal…
Motivated by the geometric structures of supersymmetric holographic RG-flows, we scan for N=2 AdS_4 solutions in M-theory. One particularly well understood holographic RG flow in M-theory is dual to a mass deformation of the N=8…
We investigate the previously proposed cyclic regime of the Kosterlitz-Thouless renormalization group (RG) flows. The period of one cycle is computed in terms of the RG invariant. Using bosonization, we show that the theory has $U_q…
We develop the theory of a special type of scattering state in which a set of asymptotic channels are chosen as inputs and the complementary set as outputs, and there is zero reflection back into the input channels. In general an infinite…
We extend the T-matrix approach to light scattering by spherical particles to some simple cases in which the scatterers are optically anisotropic. Specifically we consider cases in which the spherical particles include radially and…
We study bulk RG flows in the context of TQFTs and show how IR theories can be entirely represented within the respective UV theories by means of codimension-one projection defects. What is more, RG flows of the bulk theory can be described…
