KAIROS: Bootstrapping Time - Colliders, Schocks, Strings, and Black Holes Many interesting questions either in the realm of QFT or Gravity are intractable with the usual perturbative methods. When perturbation theory fails one has to rely on general principles, such as symmetry, causality, analyticity, unitarity to make progress. This is an idea of bootstrap: use general principles to make nontrivial predictions. The aims of this project are to develop new nonperturbative bootstrap methods as a part of a larger quest of revealing the unifying mathematical structure that underlies both Quantum Mechanics and Gravity. To use these methods for state-of-the-art computations of physical observables which are not accessible using conventional methods. This will lead to new insights into fundamental properties of Quantum Field Theory, Gravity, and holography which relates the two.
