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.
The Veneziano amplitude is the unique solution to a dual bootstrap from dispersive sum rules interpreted as moments, unitarity, and string monodromy or splitting conditions.
In D>4, gravitational EFTs with higher-derivative operators allow asymptotic superluminality around black holes, but in D=4 the asymptotic causal structure is identical to Schwarzschild and insensitive to corrections.
Complete positivity bounds for the 22 aQGC coefficients in SMEFT restrict the viable parameter space to approximately 0.0313% of the naive total.
Non-minimal three-point interactions induce negative one-loop running of Wilson coefficients in gravitational EFTs, yet graviton loops generate positive IR contributions that dominate the bounds after smearing if the species number is bounded.
In a beyond-GR cubic-curvature model, loss of isospectrality makes it generally difficult to identify the two fundamental quasinormal modes from black hole ringdown time series, though evidence for a non-GR mode is sometimes possible.
Defines IR-finite amplitudes M_E that preserve analyticity and unitarity to derive positivity bounds on EFTs including electromagnetism and gravity in D=4.
Computes the leading double logarithm at 5PM in the high-energy gravitational amplitude via multi-H diagrams and dispersion relations, extracting the single-log imaginary part of the eikonal phase.
Explicit scale-separated dS5 maximum in M-theory on a 6D Riemann-flat manifold with vacuum energy 10^{-8} in Planck units, obtained via Casimir energies and fluxes.
Dispersive bootstrap with unitarity, crossing and a Virasoro-inspired ansatz isolates the Virasoro-Shapiro amplitude in a small island for the gravity-pole-subtracted four-point amplitude in 10D supersymmetry.
Bootstrap constraints on 10D half-maximal supergravity and SYM show gravitational boundaries dominated by single linear Regge trajectory amplitudes, with representation positivity tensions obstructing direct gauge-gravity normalization in the gluon sector.
Multipositivity bounds derived from planar tree-level scattering amplitudes constrain Wilson coefficients of the chiral Lagrangian from below by the chiral anomaly.
Tree-level gravitational scattering under the equivalence principle mandates single-particle states in all irreducible representations constructible from a single seed charge, with equal interaction strengths.
A sampling-based bootstrap for graviton poles in EFTs yields non-projective bounds that fix the EFT cutoff scale relative to the Planck mass, with M/M_P ≲ 7.8 in D=5.
Symmetry plus perturbative gravitational scattering consistency requires the abelian charge lattice to be completely populated by single-particle states for SU(N) with N≥3 and SO(N) with N≥5.
Thermodynamic consistency in thermal scalar EFTs requires the Wilson coefficient of the leading dimension-8 operator to be strictly positive.
Develops spinor-helicity formalism generalizing partial wave unitarity bounds for multi-particle scattering and spin-2 or higher-spin theories.
A universal forward-scattering description in long-range theories makes partial-wave amplitudes well-defined single-scale objects computable order-by-order without spurious IR dependence.
Causality from Shapiro delay and UV species/perturbativity bounds force the dynamical Chern-Simons coupling to be tiny for macroscopic gravitational systems.
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.
