We develop crossing symmetric dispersion relations for describing 2-2 scattering of identical external particles carrying spin. This enables us to import techniques from Geometric Function Theory and study two sided bounds on low energy Wilson coefficients. We consider scattering of photons, gravitons in weakly coupled effective field theories. We provide general expressions for the locality/null constraints. Consideration of the positivity of the absorptive part leads to an interesting connection with the recently conjectured weak low spin dominance. We also construct the crossing symmetric amplitudes and locality constraints for the massive neutral Majorana fermions and parity violating photon and graviton theories. The techniques developed in this paper will be useful for considering numerical S-matrix bootstrap in the future.

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

Bootstrapping black holes at low impact parameter
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.

Geometry of effective field theory positivity cones
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.

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 Extremal Scalar Amplitudes With and Without Supersymmetry
The full space of allowed four-point scalar amplitudes is conjectured to be the convex hull of a single scalar amplitude and a one-parameter family of extremal theories, generatable from maximally supersymmetric amplitudes.

Dark Photons and Gravitino Like Particles: Complete EFT Operator Basis
A new on-shell method using Young tableaux constructs complete EFT operator bases for massive particles of any spin, applied to dark photons and spin-3/2 gravitino-like particles up to dimension 8.

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.

Causality bounds from charged shockwaves in 5d
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.
