Strings from Almost Nothing

Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen, Francesco Sciotti +1

We argue that string theory emerges inevitably from a few simple assumptions about physical scattering. Consistency alone requires that all tree-level four-point scattering amplitu…

Multipositivity Constrains the Chiral Lagrangian

Clifford Cheung, Jaehoon Jeong, Pyungwon Ko +3

The chiral Lagrangian is a cornerstone of modern particle physics, offering a systematic and quantitative description of low-energy pions. Using tools from the modern scattering am…

The Equivalence Principle at High Energies Completes the Spectrum

Francesco Calisto, Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen +2

We prove a version of the completeness hypothesis that follows from the coexistence of symmetry and gravity: tree-level gravitational scattering mandates single-particle states in…

Completeness from Gravitational Scattering

Francesco Calisto, Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen +2

We prove that symmetry in the presence of gravity implies a version of the completeness hypothesis. For a broad class of theories, we demonstrate that the existence of finitely man…

Positivity with Long-Range Interactions

B. Bellazzini, J. Berman, G. Isabella +3

We introduce infrared finite, analytic, crossing symmetric, Regge behaved, and Lorentz invariant amplitudes , labeled by the experimental energy resolut…

Inverse Problem in Effective Field Theory

Francesco Calisto, Clifford Cheung, Grant N. Remmen +2

We show that the tree-level spectrum of heavy particles can be directly extracted from the Wilson coefficients of the corresponding effective field theory at low energies. This pro…
