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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

(Super)Gravity from Positivity

Brando Bellazzini, Alex Pomarol, Marcello Romano +1

We investigate whether the effective theory for isolated, massive, and weakly interacting spin- particles is compatible with causality and unitarity-i.e., the positivity of sc…

Bootstrapping the Chiral-Gravitational Anomaly

Zi-Yu Dong, Teng Ma, Alex Pomarol +1

We analyze causality and unitarity constraints in graviton scattering amplitudes, aiming to establish new bounds on theories with -gravitational anomalies, such as axion mode…

Bootstrapping the Chiral Anomaly at Large

Teng Ma, Alex Pomarol, Francesco Sciotti

The bootstrap approach (demanding consistency conditions to scattering amplitudes) has shown to be quite powerful to tightly constrain gauge theories at large . We extend prev…

Cornering Large- QCD with Positivity Bounds

Clara Fernandez, Alex Pomarol, Francesco Riva +1

The simple analytic structure of meson scattering amplitudes in the large- limit, combined with positivity of the spectral density, provides precise predictions on low-energy…
