We derive sum rules that express UV data and the energy of a chosen eigenstate in terms of the spectral densities and certain correlation functions of the theory. In two dimensions, this leads to a bootstrap setup that involves the UV central charge and may allow us to follow a Renormalization Group (RG) flow non-perturbatively by continuously varying the AdS radius. Along the way, we establish the convergence properties of the newly discovered local block decomposition, which applies to three-point functions involving one bulk and two boundary operators. |
