Reverse Bootstrapping: IR Lessons for UV Physics

S-matrix bootstrap and positivity bounds are usually viewed as constraints on low-energy theories imposed by the requirement of a standard UV completion. By considering graviton-photon scattering in the standard model, we argue that the low-energy theory can be used to put constraints on the UV beha...

Description
Summary:S-matrix bootstrap and positivity bounds are usually viewed as constraints on low-energy theories imposed by the requirement of a standard UV completion. By considering graviton-photon scattering in the standard model, we argue that the low-energy theory can be used to put constraints on the UV behavior of the gravitational scattering amplitudes.
