We use the numerical S-matrix bootstrap method to obtain bounds on the two leading Wilson coefficients of the chiral lagrangian controlling the low-energy dynamics of massless pions thus providing a proof of concept that the numerical S-matrix bootstrap can be used to derive non-perturbative bounds on EFTs in more than two spacetime dimensions.

  1. 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.

  2. Analytic Boundaries of Infinite-Spin-Tower Amplitudes from Hidden Zero

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The exact analytic boundary of unitary infinite-spin-tower amplitudes is derived and shown to be maximal unless energy poles accumulate.

  3. Bootstrapping black holes at low impact parameter

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    After subtracting the eikonal carrier, the residual SDR spectrum in six dimensions organizes into a cap-saturated low-impact band, an empty gap, and Regge-like ridges whose weak-coupling edge is the G_N=0 baseline.

  4. Geometry of effective field theory positivity cones

    math-ph 2025-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    For three particle flavors, the positivity cone C_W has exactly three families of extremal rays, one of which yields genuinely new inelastic constraints not implied by elastic bounds.

  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. Splitting Regions and Shrinking Islands from Higher Point Constraints

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  7. Bootstrapping the Chiral-Gravitational Anomaly

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  8. Matrix moment approach to positivity bounds and UV reconstruction from IR

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  9. Running soft theorems in effective field theory

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At one loop, the finite subleading parts of the soft photon and double-soft pion theorems carry Wilson coefficients whose RG running is dictated by the same EFT beta functions, while log terms remain universal.

  10. Cross-Section Bootstrap: Unveiling the Froissart Amplitude

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A universal finite-energy upper bound on the integrated cross-section for identical scalars is derived; the conjectured saturating "Froissart amplitude" shows Regge trajectories, a rising cross-section, and annulus-li...

  11. Bounds on the next-to-leading Wilson coefficient in maximal supergravity

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The next-to-leading Wilson coefficient in D=7 maximal supergravity is minimized at the same U-duality symmetric point as the leading coefficient, supporting string universality.

  12. Analytic bootstrap bounds on masses and spins in gravitational and non-gravitational scalar theories

    hep-th 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  13. Bootstrapping Gravity with Crossing Symmetric Dispersion Relations

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
