Positivity in Massive Spin-3/2 EFTs and the Planck-Suppressed Neighbourhood of Supergravity
Jay Desai, Diptimoy Ghosh, Saurabh Pant
It is well known that a strictly massless spin- particle can interact consistently only within supergravity. Recently, positivity arguments have shown that an effective field…
Massive Exchange and the Sign of the Equilateral Bispectrum
Diptimoy Ghosh, Suvashis Maity, Farman Ullah
We study the inflationary bispectrum generated by the tree-level exchange of a massive hidden-sector scalar during inflation. When the interaction between the inflaton and the hidd…
Stable Causality and Microcausality for Drummond-Hathrell Photons
Madhukar Deb, Jay Desai, Diptimoy Ghosh
Local superluminal photon propagation arises at in the Drummond Hathrell (DH) effective action obtained by integrating out the electron in QED coupled to gr…
Singularities in Cosmological Loop Correlators II : Non Local Interactions and Flat Space limits
Elaf Ansari, Supritha Bhowmick, Diptimoy Ghosh
Non-local interactions naturally arise in the ADM formalism after solving the constraint equations and substituting their solutions back into the action. However, the effects of th…
Singularities in Cosmological Loop Correlators
Supritha Bhowmick, Mang Hei Gordon Lee, Diptimoy Ghosh +1
In this work we perform a systematic study of the singularity structure of inflationary correlations at 1-loop. We explicitly compute a few diagrams and find a pattern emerging in…
Positivity at 1-Loop: Bounds on Photon and Gluon EFTs
Jay Desai, Diptimoy Ghosh
In this paper, we attempt to derive ``positivity" bounds on Photon and Gluon Effective Field Theories (EFTs) at one loop level. While for the Photon case, the one loop amplitude is…
