Description

Integrable 2d QFTs with exact S-matrices and no particle production are one of the few examples of solvable interacting QFTs, especially in the absence of supersymmetry or conformal invariance. We discuss evidence that a similar structure can persist for QFTs in AdS2, manifesting itself in the absence of multi-twist operators in the OPE of the single-particle state in the dual CFT1. In particular, we present numerical solutions of the multi-correlator bootstrap which exhibit this property, discuss how they can be understood analytically and contrast them with previous no-go theorems on integrable QFTs in AdS2.
