报告摘要：Consistencies of its UV completion such as unitary, analyticity and crossing symmetry imply an effective field theory (EFT) must satisfy a series of constraints, known as positivity bounds. Recent years have seen rapid advances in developing the formalism of positivity bounds and their applications in various EFTs in particle physics and cosmology. We introduce progress along two orthogonal directions in extracting the most constraining positivity bounds: (1) methods to extract the most constraining positivity bounds for the s^2 Wilson coefficients, which significantly constrain the parameter space of the SMEFT and can be used to help infer the UV physics from the EFT (following a line of enquiry in collaboration with Cen Zhang); (2) method to find the most constraining positivity bounds using full crossing symmetry and partial wave expansion, which can be used to prove that the Wilson coefficients being order O(1) is not merely a naturalness argument but a rigorous theorem from S-matrix theory/quantum field theory. We also discuss a few applications of these new positivity bounds.
