Unitarity bounds on charged/neutral state mass ratio
read the original abstract
In this letter, we study the implications of unitary completion of quantum gravity on the low energy spectrums, through an infinite set of unitarity bounds on the forward-limit scattering amplitudes. In three dimensions, we find that light states with charge-to-mass ratio $z$ greater than $1$ can only be consistent if there exists other light states, preferably neutral. Applied to the compactification of the Standard Model, where the low energy couplings are dominated by the electron with $|z|\sim 10^{22}$, this provides a novel understanding of the need for light neutrinos.
