We discuss the structure of the mixing among dimension-eight operators in the SMEFT relying on the positivity of two-to-two forward scattering amplitudes. We uncover tens of new non-trivial zeros as well as hundreds of terms with definite sign in (a particular basis of) the corresponding anomalous dimension matrix. We highlight that our results are not immediately apparent from the Feynman diagrammatic perspective, nor from on-shell amplitude methods. As a byproduct of this work, we provide positivity bounds not previously derived in the literature, as well as explicit values of certain elements of the anomalous dimension matrix that serve for cross-check of our results.

    Functional methods are generalized to two-loop EFT matching and running with manifest gauge covariance, and the hard-region matching formula is proven to all loop orders.

    For t-channel mediators such as the U1 leptoquark, Drell-Yan EFT bounds are accurate at the 10% level for masses above about 1.5 TeV when the series is truncated at amplitude level, while s-channel mediators need E mu...
