We review unitarity and crossing constraints on scattering amplitudes for particles with spin in four dimensional quantum field theories. As an application we study two to two scattering of neutral spin 1/2 fermions in detail. Assuming Mandelstam analyticity of its scattering amplitude, we use the numerical S-matrix bootstrap method to estimate various non-perturbative bounds on quartic and cubic (Yukawa) couplings.

  1. Positivity in Massive Spin-3/2 EFTs and the Planck-Suppressed Neighbourhood of Supergravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Massive spin-3/2 EFT contact couplings are constrained by positivity to a Planck-suppressed neighborhood of supergravity values whose volume scales as m^6/M_Pl^6 and vanishes as m approaches zero.

  2. The Positivity Geometry of Photon--Dark-Photon Effective Field Theories

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    Elastic positivity from a modified forward dispersion relation constrains the twelve dim-8 Wilson coefficients of the photon–dark-photon EFT to a spectrahedral cone, with hierarchies for non-forward mixed amplitudes a...

  3. Consistent Scattering Amplitudes, Yang-Mills, the Higgs Mechanism and the EFTs Beyond

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    S-matrix consistency forces the complete gluon amplitude structure and requires Yang-Mills Lie algebra plus Higgs mechanism for unitarised massive vector boson scattering.

  4. Negative running of gravitational positivity

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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 ...

  5. Primal S-matrix bootstrap with dispersion relations

    hep-th 2025-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

  6. Positivity in Massive Spin-3/2 EFTs and the Planck-Suppressed Neighbourhood of Supergravity

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Positivity bounds on massive spin-3/2 four-fermion operators restrict the couplings to a bounded region around supergravity values whose volume scales as m^6/M_Pl^6 and vanishes as m approaches zero.
