autoboot: A generator of bootstrap equations with global symmetry

Abstract

We introduce autoboot, a Mathematica program which automatically generates mixed-correlator bootstrap equations of an arbitrary number of scalar external operators, given the global symmetry group and the representations of the operators. The output is a Python program which uses Ohtsuki's cboot which in turn uses Simmons-Duffin's sdpb. In an appendix we also discuss a simple technique to significantly reduce the time to run sdpb, which we call hot-starting.
