Well-definedness conjecture for the Sinh-Gordon bootstrap correlation functions

Let kNk\in\mathbb{N}, let GS((R1,1)k)G\in\mathcal{S}\big((\mathbb{R}^{1,1})^k\big), and let α1,,αk\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_k be labels of solutions to the system a)–d). For each nNk(k1)2\boldsymbol{n}\in\mathbb{N}^{\frac{k(k-1)}{2}}, let Iαk(n)[G]\mathcal{I}_{\boldsymbol{\alpha}_k}^{(\boldsymbol{n})}[G] denote the corresponding contribution, and write αk=(α1,,αk)\boldsymbol{\alpha}_k=(\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_k). Well-definedness conjecture. The kk-point correlation function

Wαk[G]=nNk(k1)2Iαk(n)[G]\mathcal{W}_{\boldsymbol{\alpha}_k}[G]=\sum_{\boldsymbol{n}\in\mathbb{N}^{\frac{k(k-1)}{2}}}\mathcal{I}_{\boldsymbol{\alpha}_k}^{(\boldsymbol{n})}[G]

is given by an absolutely convergent series and defines a tempered distribution. The preceding truncated sums are finite and hence define tempered distributions; convergence of the full series is known for two-point functions with mutually purely space-like support, while the general convergence problem remains open. Establishing this conjecture would provide the well-defined correlation functions needed for the bootstrap construction to satisfy the Wightman axioms.
