Various effective field theories in four dimensions are shown to have exact non-trivial solutions in the limit as the number $N$ of fields of some type becomes large. These include extended versions of the U(N) Gross-Neveu model, the…
Universal bounds for the potential energy of weighted spherical codes are obtained by linear programming. The universality is in the sense of Cohn-Kumar -- every attaining code is optimal with respect to a large class of potential functions…

It is well-known but sometimes overlooked that constraints on the oblique parameters (most notably $S$ and $T$ parameters) are generally speaking only applicable to a special class of new physics scenarios known as universal theories. In…
In effective field theory, the positivity bounds of higher derivative operators are derived from analyticity, causality, and unitarity. We show that the positivity bounds on some operators of the effective field theory, e.g.,…
The requirements of unitarity and causality lead to significant constraints on the Wilson coefficients of an EFT expansion, known as positivity bounds. Their standard derivation relies on the crucial assumption of polynomial boundedness on…
