Fifth-Force Constraints from UV-Complete Scalar-Tensor Gravity

Alfio M. Bonanno, Emiliano M. Glaviano

UV-complete scalar-tensor gravity restricts fifth-force parameters to a narrow wedge, ruling out much of the space still allowed by experiments.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Imposing UV completeness -- regular RG trajectories that reach the UV scaling regime -- restricts the infrared data to a finite wedge, which maps to a narrow region in the (α,λ) plane. Its complement is, therefore, ruled out by UV completeness alone. Remarkably, part of this theory-excluded domain lies below current experimental exclusion envelopes.

C2weakest assumption

That the infrared values of the Yukawa strength α and range λ are directly and accurately determined by the requirement that RG trajectories remain regular and reach the interacting UV-complete fixed point, without additional fine-tuning or post-hoc adjustments in the broken phase.

C3one line summary

UV completeness in scalar-tensor gravity restricts the fifth-force Yukawa parameters α and λ to a narrow wedge in parameter space, ruling out its complement and part of the experimentally allowed domain.
