We consider the effective field theory of multiple interacting massive spin-2 fields. We focus on the case where the interactions are chosen so that the cutoff is the highest possible, and highlight two distinct classes of theories. In the…
Causality in a shockwave state is related to the analytic properties of a four-point correlation function. Extending recent results for scalar probes, we show that this constrains the couplings of the stress tensor to light spinning…

Opportunity to generate beyond Horndeski interactions is addressed. An amplitude generating a certain beyond Horndeski coupling is explicitly found. The amplitude is free from ultraviolet divergences, so it is protected from ultraviolet…
As we use the standard model effective field theory to search for signs of new physics beyond the direct reach of the LHC, we often wonder what we may learn from the effective field theory, and what it would look like to make a discovery…
