Locality constraints in AdS2 without parity
Abstract
We study bulk locality constraints in quantum field theories in AdS2. The known derivation of locality sum rules in AdSd+1 does not apply for d=1 due to the different singularity structure of the conformal blocks and the inequivalence of operator orderings on the boundary. Assuming unitarity and a mild growth condition, we establish power-law bounds for correlators, derive dispersion relations and an expansion in terms of ``even'' and ``odd'' local blocks that converges in the entire AdS2. These yield two novel families of symmetric and antisymmetric locality sum rules. We test these sum rules explicitly in the free scalar field theory.
