We derive constraints on scalar field theories coupled to gravity by using recently developed positivity bounds in the presence of gravity. It is found that a canonically-normalized real scalar cannot have an arbitrarily flat potential unless some new physics enters well below the Planck scale. An upper bound on the scale of new physics is determined by loop corrections to the self-energy. Our result provides a swampland condition for scalar potentials.

Scalar weak gravity bound from full unitarity
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|.

Running EFT-hedron with null constraints at loop level
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...

Exploring amplitude criteria for weak gravity in electroweak theory
Requiring positivity of the forward-scattering quantity B^(2)(Λ) in an electroweak-like theory yields weak-gravity-type lower bounds on gauge and Yukawa couplings, plus a species bound.
