In the broken phase, the radial mode mediates a universal Yukawa correction to Newtonian gravity, parametrized by a strength $\\alpha$ and range $\\lambda$. Imposing UV completeness -- regular RG trajectories that reach the UV scaling regime -- restricts the infrared data to a finite wedge, which maps to a narrow region in the $(\\alpha,\\lambda)$ plane. Its complement is, therefor"},"claims":{"count":4,"items":[{"kind":"strongest_claim","text":"Imposing UV completeness -- regular RG trajectories that reach the UV scaling regime -- restricts the infrared data to a finite wedge, which maps to a narrow region in the (α,λ) plane.
