Universal bounds on operator dimensions from the average null energy condition

Abstract We show that the average null energy condition implies novel lower bounds on the scaling dimensions of highly-chiral primary operators in four-dimensional conformal field theories. Denoting the spin of an operator by a pair of integers kk¯ $$ \left(k,\overline{k}\right) $$ specifying the tr...
