abstract

The pion-pion scattering amplitudes provided by second-order chiral perturbation theory are confronted with known rigorous constraints derived from the axioms of quantum field theory. We mainly test constraints restricting the $\pi^0$-$\pi^0$ $S$- and $D$-wave amplitudes in the unphysical interval $0\leq s\leq 4m_\pi^2$. These constraints impose significant lower bounds for a linear combination of coupling constants specifying the second order chiral Lagrangian. The accepted value of this combination is consistent with these bounds. The $\pi^0$-$\pi^0$ $S$- and $D$-waves are strongly correlated by a set of constraints.

  11. The Speed of Gravity

    hep-th 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the standard effective field theory of gravity, gravitational waves on cosmological backgrounds propagate at a speed differing from unity, and analyticity arguments favor superluminal speed relative to matter.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Causality on 5d charged shockwaves gives positivity bounds on four-derivative Einstein-Maxwell couplings, with gravity weakening the pure-field-theory bounds and near-horizon photons providing the strongest constraints.
