From Wikipedia
• Bootstrapping: a group of metaphors which refer to a self-sustaining process that proceeds without external help.
• The phrase appears to have originated in the early 19th century United States (particularly in the sense "pull oneself over a fence by one's bootstraps"), to mean an absurdly impossible action.

Main Physics Entry
• Geoffrey Chew and others … sought to derive as much information as possible about the strong interaction from plausible assumptions about the S-matrix, … an approach advocated by Werner Heisenberg two decades earlier.
• Without the narrow resonance approximation, the bootstrap program did not have a clear expansion parameter, and the consistency equations were often complicated and unwieldy, so that the method had limited success.
• With narrow resonance approx, led to string theoryL. Dixon Bootstraps Old and New

Scattering in D=2• Integrability: infinitely many conserved charges Factorizable S-matrices.
22 S matrix must satisfy Yang-Baxter equations
• Many-body S matrix a simple product of 22 S matrices. • Consistency conditions often powerful enough to write
down exact solution!• First case solved: Heisenberg antiferromagnetic spin chain [Bethe Ansatz, 1931]

Integrability and planar N=4 SYM
• For N=4 SYM, Hamiltonian is integrable: – infinitely many conserved charges – scattering of quasi-particles (magnons) via 2 2 S matrix obeying YBE• Also: integrability of AdS5 x S5 s-model Bena, Polchinski, Roiban (2003)
Lipatov (1993);Minahan, Zarembo (2002);Beisert, Kristjansen, Staudacher (2003); …
• Single-trace operators 1-d spin systems
• Anomalous dimensions from diagonalizing dilatation operator = spin-chain Hamiltonian.
• In planar limit, Hamiltonian is local,though range increases with number of loops
Amplitudes 2013, May 2 11L. Dixon Bootstraps Old and New
• Solve system for any coupling by Bethe ansatz: – multi-magnon states with only phase-shifts induced by repeated 2 2 scattering – periodicity of wave function Bethe Condition depending on length of chain L – As L ∞, BC becomes integral equation – 2 2 S matrix almost fixed by symmetries; overall phase, dressing factor, not so easily deduced. – Assume wrapping corrections vanish for large spin operators

Wilson loop OPEs
• Remarkably, can be recovered directlyfrom analytic properties, using “near collinear limits”
• Wilson-loop equivalence this limit is controlled by an operator product expansion (OPE)
• Possible to go to 3 loops, by combining OPE expansion with symbol LD, Drummond, Henn, 1108.4461
Here, promote symbol to unique function R6(3)(u1,u2,u3)

Generic Constraints • Integrability (must be symbol of some function) • S3 permutation symmetry in• Even under “parity”:every term must have an even number of – 0, 2 or 4 • Vanishing in collinear limit

OPE Constraints (cont.) • Using conformal invariance, send one long line to ∞,
put other one along x-
• Dilatations, boosts, azimuthal rotations preserve configuration.
• s, f conjugate to twist p, spin m of conformal primary fields (flux tube excitations)
• Expand anomalous dimensions in coupling g2:
• Leading discontinuity t L-1 of R6(L) needs only
one-loop anomalous dimension
Amplitudes 2013, May 2 31L. Dixon Bootstraps Old and New
OPE Constraints (cont.) • As t ∞ , v = 1/cosh2 t t L-1 ~ [ln v] L-1
• Extract this piece from symbol by only keeping terms with L-1 leading v entries
• Powerful constraint: fixes 3 loop symbol up to 2 parameters. But not powerful enough for L > 3
• New results of Basso, Sever, Vieira give v1/2 e±if [ln v] k , k = 0,1,2,…L-1and even v1 e±2if [ln v] k , k = 0,1,2,…L-1

Reconstructing the function • One can build up a complete description of the pure
functions F(u,v,w) with correct branch cuts iteratively in the weight n, using the (n-1,1) element of the co-product Dn-1,1(F) Duhr, Gangl, Rhodes, 1110.0458
which specifies all first derivatives of F:
Amplitudes 2013, May 2 34L. Dixon Bootstraps Old and New
Reconstructing functions (cont.)
• Coefficients are weight n-1 functions that can be identified (iteratively) from the symbol of F
• “Beyond-the-symbol” [bts] ambiguities in reconstructing them, proportional to z(k).
• Most ambiguities resolved by equating 2nd order mixed partial derivatives.
• Remaining ones represent freedom to add globally well-defined weight n-k functions multiplied by z(k).

Conclusions• Bootstraps are wonderful things• Applied successfully to D=2 integrable models• To CFTs in D=2 and now D > 2• To perturbative amplitudes & integrands • To anomalous dimensions in planar N=4 SYM• Now, nonperturbatively to whole D=2 scattering
problem on OPE/near-collinear boundary of phase-space for scattering amplitudes
• With knowledge of function space and this boundary data, can determine perturbative N=4 amplitudes over full phase space, without need to know any integrands at all
