He is emeritus in the mathematics department of King's College London. The email address listed on their web site is not functional. The department has no way of physically contacting him due to the current medical situation. I have tried contacting him through this forum to no avail: presumably his account here uses the same defunct address.

I would very much like to get an answer to the question below, so if anyone has a current email address for him then I would appreciate it if you could forward the question to him. Failing that, if anyone knows the answer to the question then that information would also be greatly appreciated.

On p.120 of your book Lost Causes in and beyond Physics, you state that Claud Lovelace "proved that the bootstrap equations had no solution." I've looked at a list of Lovelace's publications on a CERN server, which was were he was in residence when the proof was deduced, but none of them appear to match this rather bold statement. Do you know if he ever published this proof? If not, would you have a copy of the proof yourself or remember the argument behind it?
