Bootstrapping the spectral function: on the uniqueness of Liouville and the universality of BTZ

Abstract We introduce spectral functions that capture the distribution of OPE coefficients and density of states in two-dimensional conformal field theories, and show that nontrivial upper and lower bounds on the spectral function can be obtained from semidefinite programming. We find substantial nu...
