We use partial wave unitarity to constrain various bespoke four-point amplitudes. We start by constructing bespoke generalizations of the type I superstring amplitude, which we show satisfy dual resonance and have suitable high-energy limits. By analyzing the behavior of partial wave coefficients for highly massive states, we strictly rule out all bespoke amplitudes with asymptotically non-linear Regge trajectories and place constraints on the first few non-trivial parameters in asymptotically linear cases. Finally, we argue that while a large class of unitary bespoke amplitudes fails to satisfy Regge Sum Rules, there exists a smaller sub-class with a vanishing mass gap that is superpolynomially bounded.

Multipositivity Bounds for Scattering Amplitudes
Scattering residues at any multiplicity form positive semidefinite moment matrices, yielding an infinite web of multipositivity bounds that the open string exactly saturates.

Higher-Spin and Higher-Point Constraints on Stringy Amplitudes
Factorization at the second excited mass level forces the Regge intercept to the bosonic string value, and large-level multipositivity bounds forbid the simplest Gross satellite deformation of four-point superstring a...

Worldsheet for Generalized Veneziano Amplitudes
A chiral composite linear dilaton worldsheet action reproduces Mandelstam's generalized Veneziano amplitudes and yields new partially crossing-symmetric higher-point and closed-string amplitudes.

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