Constraints on Regge behaviour from IR physics
read the original abstract
We consider positivity constraints applicable to the Effective Field Theory (EFT) of gravity in arbitrary dimensions. By considering scattering of indefinite initial and final states, we highlight the existence of a gravitational scattering amplitude for which full crossing symmetry is manifest and utilize the recently developed crossing symmetric dispersion relations to derive compact non-linear bounds. We show that the null constraints built into these dispersion relations lead to a finite energy sum rule for gravity which may be extended to a one-parameter family of continuous moment sum rules. These sum rules enforce a UV-IR relation which imposes constraints on both the Regge trajectory and residue. We also highlight a situation where the Regge trajectory is uniquely determined in terms of the sub-Regge scale amplitude. Generically the Regge behaviour may be split into an IR sensitive part calculable within a given EFT which mainly depends on the lightest fields in Nature, and an IR independent part which are subject to universal positivity constraints following from unitarity and analyticity.

Negative running of gravitational positivity
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 ...

Primal S-matrix bootstrap with dispersion relations
A primal S-matrix bootstrap framework parameterizes imaginary parts of partial waves, uses dispersion relations to enforce consistency, computes coupling bounds, and handles Regge behavior plus spinning states like glueballs.

Theoretical and Observational Bounds on Dynamical Chern-Simons Gravity as an Effective Field Theory
Dynamical Chern-Simons gravity is bounded by causality and perturbativity to produce only tiny corrections on macroscopic gravitational systems.

Theoretical and Observational Bounds on Dynamical Chern-Simons Gravity as an Effective Field Theory
Causality from Shapiro delay and UV species/perturbativity bounds force the dynamical Chern-Simons coupling to be tiny for macroscopic gravitational systems.

Leading effective field theory corrections to the Kerr metric at all spins
Numerical solutions show that leading effective-field-theory corrections to the Kerr metric grow with spin and are largest near extremality.
