The leading trajectory in the 2+1D Ising CFT.

We study the scattering of lumps in the 2+1-dimensional Ising CFT, indirectly, by analytically continuing its spectrum using the Lorentzian inversion formula. We find evidence that the intercept of the model is below unity: $j_*\approx 0.8$, indicating that scattering is asymptotically transparent corresponding to a negative Lyapunov exponent. We use as input the precise spectrum obtained from the numerical conformal bootstrap. We show that the truncated spectrum allows the inversion formula to reproduce the properties of the spin-two stress tensor to $10^{-4}$ accuracy and we address the question of whether the spin-0 operators of the model lie on Regge trajectories. This hypothesis is further supported by analytics in the large-N O(N) model. Finally, we show that anomalous dimensions of heavy operators decrease with energy at a rate controlled by $(j_*-1)$, implying regularity of the heavy spectrum.
