abstract

We place theoretical constraints on the leading deviations to four-fermion standard model interactions. Invoking S-matrix analyticity and partial wave unitarity, we develop new dispersion relations that yield either spin-dependent sum rules on dimension-six fermionic operators or information about the amplitude's behavior at large momentum. The pattern of SMEFT inequalities we find for theories obeying certain large-momentum constraints enables a diagnosis of properties of emerging new physics. These relations form a bridge between new physics searches: discovery of flavor-violating $\tau$ decays at Belle II would motivate the search for flavor-conserving new physics below 25 TeV, as the results would provide definitive information about the UV.

  1. Multipositivity Bounds for Scattering Amplitudes

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Scattering residues at any multiplicity form positive semidefinite moment matrices, yielding an infinite web of multipositivity bounds that the open string exactly saturates.

  2. Positivity in the Renormalization of Effective Field Theory

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    A general theorem fixes the sign of one-loop renormalization of even-dimension EFT couplings induced by equal-even-dimension operator pairs, with applications to SMEFT dimension-eight running and new non-renormalizati...

  3. Partial Waves for Multipositivity

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper constructs kinematic charts and partial-wave expansions for four-, five-, and six-point massless planar amplitudes tailored to multipositivity bounds.

  4. The fermion sector of the SMEFT from asymptotically safe gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In a toy model of one quark generation, asymptotically safe gravity predicts four-fermion SMEFT coefficients are either Planck-scale suppressed or zero, with exceptions only at very large gravitational coupling.

  5. Strings from Almost Nothing

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Ultrasoft, minimally structured scattering amplitudes are forced onto the Veneziano and Virasoro-Shapiro amplitudes of string theory.

  6. Targets for Flavor-Violating Top Decay

    hep-ph 2025-04 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In leptoquark-like new physics, rare top decays to quarks and electron/muon pairs are predicted to occur at branching ratios of about 10^-8 to 10^-6, putting some within reach of LHC searches.
