Further Evidence for Near-Tsirelson Bell-CHSH Violations in Quantum Field Theory via Haar Wavelets

This paper investigates a recent construction using bumpified Haar wavelets to demonstrate explicit violations of the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality within the vacuum state in quantum field theory. The construction was tested for massless spinor fields in $(1+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime and is claimed to achieve violations arbitrarily close to an upper bound known as Tsirelson’s bound. We show that this claim can be reduced to a mathematical conjecture involving the maximal eigenvalue of a sequence of symmetric matrices composed of integrals of Haar wavelet products. More precisely, the asymptotic eigenvalue of this sequence should approach $π$. We present a formal argument using a subclass of wavelets, allowing us to reach $3.11052$. Although a complete proof remains elusive, we present further compelling numerical evidence to support it.

💡 Research Summary

The paper addresses the long‑standing question of whether the Bell‑Clauser‑Horne‑Shimony‑Holt (CHSH) inequality can be violated arbitrarily close to Tsirelson’s bound (2√2) within the vacuum state of a free quantum field theory. Earlier algebraic QFT results proved the existence of such near‑maximal violations for free fields, but they did not provide explicit test functions. A recent work (reference
