Non-analyticity of the S-matrix with spontaneously broken Lorentz invariance
read the original abstract
We study the $S$-matrix of Goldstones in the renormalizable theory of a $U(1)$ complex scalar at finite charge, i.e. in a state that breaks Lorentz invariance. The theory is weakly coupled so that this $S$-matrix exists at all energies. Unlike the Lorentz invariant case, the resulting $S$-matrix is not analytic in the exchanged (complexified) four-momentum. The non-analyticities stem from the LSZ reduction formula, as a consequence of the energy-dependent mixing between the radial and Goldstone modes.

Positivity in Massive Spin-3/2 EFTs and the Planck-Suppressed Neighbourhood of Supergravity
Massive spin-3/2 EFT contact couplings are constrained by positivity to a Planck-suppressed neighborhood of supergravity values whose volume scales as m^6/M_Pl^6 and vanishes as m approaches zero.

Probabilistic Causality from Graviton Fluctuations
In a thermal state of gravitons at temperature T, metric fluctuations induce a Gaussian spread in the causal structure of a scalar field with Var(x²) = 16 G_N T t³ / 3 after vacuum subtraction.

Positivity in Massive Spin-3/2 EFTs and the Planck-Suppressed Neighbourhood of Supergravity
Positivity bounds on massive spin-3/2 four-fermion operators restrict the couplings to a bounded region around supergravity values whose volume scales as m^6/M_Pl^6 and vanishes as m approaches zero.

IR side of bounds on Theories with Spontaneously Broken Lorentz Symmetry
The analysis shows that analyticity bounds in Lorentz-broken theories require gapped excitations to propagate slower than gapless ones at low momenta relative to the mass gap.
