Gravitational positivity in electroweak sector

High Energy Physics - Theory 2023-12-15 v1

Abstract

This study investigates the compatibility of the electroweak sector of particle physics with quantum gravity, under the assumption that the conventional S-matrix positivity bounds can be extended to gravitational context. It focuses on constraints implied by these bounds to the weak couplings of the Weinberg-Salam model coupled to gravity, analyzed through forward-limit of various 222\rightarrow 2 scatterings, including HHHH,HγHγ,γγγγHH \rightarrow HH, H\gamma \rightarrow H\gamma, \gamma\gamma\rightarrow\gamma\gamma. These constraints suggest possible extensions to the magnetic Weak Gravity Conjecture, relating gauge couplings with the EFT cutoff scale.
