Lorentz invariance and unitarity imply strictly positive low-temperature interaction corrections of the form T^{2D-4+4k} (k>0) to the pressure in perturbative massless boson theories.
In a thermal graviton bath the light-cone support of a scalar commutator is Gaussian with variance Var(x^{2})=16 G_N T t^{3}/3 after vacuum subtraction.
Defines IR-finite amplitudes M_E that preserve analyticity and unitarity to derive positivity bounds on EFTs including electromagnetism and gravity in D=4.
The analysis shows that analyticity bounds in Lorentz-broken theories require gapped excitations to propagate slower than gapless ones at low momenta relative to the mass gap.
