Bootstrap Principle for the Spectrum and Scattering of Strings

Author(s): Clifford Cheung, Aaron Hillman, and Grant N. Remmen We show that the Veneziano amplitude of string theory is the unique solution to an analytically solvable bootstrap problem. Uniqueness follows from two assumptions: faster than power-law falloff in high-energy scattering and the existence of some infinite sequence in momentum transfer at which highe… [Phys. Rev.
