We study the impact of full unitarity on the moment structure of forward scattering amplitudes. We introduce the semiarcs, calculable quantities in the EFT dispersively related to both real and imaginary parts of the UV amplitude for a fixed number of subtractions. It is observed that large hierarchies between consecutive moments are forbidden by unitarity. Bounds from full unitarity compete with the ones stemming from convexity, and become more important in EFTs where the loop expansion is more important than the derivative expansion.

  1. 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.

  2. Scalar weak gravity bound from full unitarity

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For a shift-symmetric scalar EFT with gravity, unitarity and dispersion relations imply Λ/M_P < 2.38 \tilde{g}_2^{1/5} and, in an improved smeared version, Λ^2/M_P^2 < 0.0115 |\tilde{g}_2|.

    One-loop massless corrections modify the null constraints of shift-symmetric scalar EFTs, and IR-finite combinations of them reproduce tree-level bounds in the weak-coupling limit while deforming bounds in five and si...
