Bootstrapping the a-anomaly in 4d QFTs: Episode II
Abstract
As recently shown, the a-anomaly of the UV fixed point of 4d quantum field theories, can be constrained by studying scattering amplitudes. The basic idea is to couple the QFT to a dilaton and impose unitarity of the scattering amplitudes of physical particles and probe dilatons. In this work we find new lower bounds on the a-anomaly in several gapped QFTs containing different numbers of stable scalar particles.
