Classify ultraviolet-complete higher mixed-chirality bootstrap solutions

Establish which remaining folded A_{2n}^{(2)} mixed-chirality scattering amplitudes admit regular conformal ultraviolet limits, and prove whether the minimal and diagonal amplitudes are the only elementary solutions with ultraviolet completeness, while the higher solutions encounter a singularity before reaching the ultraviolet regime.

Background

The folded A_{2n}{(2)} bootstrap equations possess elementary solutions labelled by k=1,...,n, as well as products such as the saturated amplitude. Algebraic bootstrap consistency alone does not ensure a conventional ultraviolet conformal limit: the saturated solution has no positive real constant Y-system solution, and preliminary investigations suggest analogous behavior for the remaining higher solutions.

The authors explicitly formulate a conjecture that only the minimal and diagonal elementary amplitudes admit regular conformal ultraviolet limits. A systematic analysis of the remaining solutions is left unresolved, including establishing the proposed classification and determining whether the higher solutions necessarily develop singularities before the ultraviolet regime.

References

We therefore conjecture that, within the folded A_{2n}{(2)} family, the minimal and diagonal amplitudes are the only elementary solutions admitting regular conformal ultraviolet limits, while the higher solutions encounter a singularity before the UV regime is reached.
