abstract
We review the effective field theory (EFT) bootstrap by formulating it as an infinite-dimensional semidefinite program (SDP), built from the crossing symmetric sum rules and the S-matrix primal ansatz. We apply the program to study the large-$N$ chiral perturbation theory ($\chi$PT) and observe excellent convergence of EFT bounds between the dual (rule-out) and primal (rule-in) methods. This convergence aligns with the predictions of duality theory in SDP, enabling us to analyze the bound states and resonances in the ultra-violet (UV) spectrum. Furthermore, we incorporate the upper bound of unitarity to uniformly constrain the EFT space from the UV scale $M$ using the primal method, thereby confirming the consistency of the large-$N$ expansion. In the end, we translate the large-$N$ $\chi$PT bounds to constrain the higher derivative corrections of holographic QCD models.

(Super)$\,$Gravity from Positivity
Positivity of scattering amplitudes forces weakly coupled EFTs of a massive spin-3/2 particle to include gravity, and for charged states a gauged photon with g=2 and WGC-saturating charge.

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

Strings from Almost Nothing
Ultrasoft, minimally structured scattering amplitudes are forced onto the Veneziano and Virasoro-Shapiro amplitudes of string theory.

Splitting Regions and Shrinking Islands from Higher Point Constraints
Imposing 5-point split conditions and unitarity bounds selects the string beta function as the unique 4-point amplitude, up to equal-mass infinite spin towers.

The EFT Bootstrap at Finite $M_{PL}$
One-loop gravity effects make forward-limit positivity bounds ill-defined for massless scalar-gravity EFTs, forcing non-forward dispersion relations that shift the tree-level bounds by order-one factors.

Bootstrapping the Chiral-Gravitational Anomaly
Causality and unitarity force J≥4 resonances to appear below Λcaus approximately sqrt(MP Fπ/κg) in any EFT with a U(1)-gravitational anomaly.

Matrix moment approach to positivity bounds and UV reconstruction from IR
Positivity bounds for multi-field EFTs are formulated as matrix moment problems, yielding optimal bounds and a method to reverse engineer the UV mass, spin, and coupling spectrum from low-energy coefficients.

The Rise of Linear Trajectories
Numerical S-matrix bootstrap shows that maximized couplings of the second and third higher-spin resonances select spectra lying on a linear Regge trajectory, anchored by the graviton in gravitational theories.

Analytic bootstrap bounds on masses and spins in gravitational and non-gravitational scalar theories
The authors derive 'Sequential Spin and Mass Constraints' for su-symmetric and stu-symmetric four-point amplitudes, claiming any weakly-coupled spectrum must have ordered spins and bounded mass ratios.

Bootstrapping Gravity with Crossing Symmetric Dispersion Relations
A crossing-symmetric dispersion-relation bootstrap reproduces known gravitational EFT bounds and gives new tree-level limits on the graviton coupling to a massive spin-4 state.
