I study constraints on fundamental physics emerging from consistency of a unitary, local and perturbative $S$-matrix in $4d$. For massless particles, some new constraints arising from consistent complex factorisation of $2\rightarrow 2$…

The scattering amplitude in the dual model with Mandelstam analyticity and trajectory $\alpha (s)=\alpha_{0}-\gamma \ln [ (1+\beta \sqrt{s_{0} -s})/(1+ \beta \sqrt{s_{0}})]$ is studied in the limit $s,|t|\to \infty, s/t=const.$ By using the…
