Analytic Bootstrap of the Veneziano Amplitude

Shi-Lin Wan, Shuang-Yong Zhou

We analytically prove that the Veneziano amplitude is the unique outcome of a dual bootstrap based on dispersive sum rules, unitarity, and a small amount of additional stringy inpu…

Boson Star Superradiance

He-Yu Gao, Paul M. Saffin, Yi-Jie Wang +2

Recently, it has been realized that in some systems internal space rotation can induce energy amplification for scattering waves, similar to rotation in real space. Particularly, i…

Triple crossing positivity bounds, mass dependence and cosmological scalars: Horndeski theory and DHOST

Hao Xu, Shuang-Yong Zhou

Scalars are widely used in cosmology to model novel phenomena such as the late-time cosmic acceleration. These are effective field theories with highly nonlinear interactions, incl…

Causality bounds on scalar-tensor EFTs

Dong-Yu Hong, Zhuo-Hui Wang, Shuang-Yong Zhou

We compute the causality/positivity bounds on the Wilson coefficients of scalar-tensor effective field theories. Two-sided bounds are obtained by extracting IR information from UV…

Excited oscillons: cascading levels and higher multipoles

Yi-Jie Wang, Qi-Xin Xie, Shuang-Yong Zhou

Two types of excited oscillons are investigated. We first focus on spherical symmetry and find that there are a tower of spherical oscillons with higher energies. Despite having mu…

Snowmass Theory Frontier: Effective Field Theory

Matthew Baumgart, Fady Bishara, Tomas Brauner +34

We summarize recent progress in the development, application, and understanding of effective field theories and highlight promising directions for future research. This Report is p…
