We find the complete set of conditions satisfied by the forward $2\to2$ scattering amplitude in unitarity and causal theories. These are based on an infinite set of energy dependent quantities -- the arcs -- which are dispersively expressed…
We derive the complete set of positivity bounds for the leading-twist parton distribution functions (PDFs) of a spin-3/2 hadron for the first time. This work generalizes the Soffer bound, a fundamental constraint for spin-1/2 nucleons, to…
We study the EFT of a spinning compact object and show that with appropriate gauge fixing, computations become amenable to worldline quantum field theory techniques. We use the resulting action to compute Compton and one-loop scattering…
The effects of compact extra dimensions upon quantum stress tensor fluctuations are discussed. It is argued that as the compactification volume decrease, these fluctuations increase in magnitude. In principle, this would have the potential…
The partial differential equation for the imaginary part of the elastic scattering amplitude is derived. It is solved in the black disk limit. The asymptotical scaling behavior of the amplitude coinciding with the geometrical scaling is…

General equations for the calculation of amplitudes are presented. As an illustration of application of proposed formulae we calculate electron-electron scattering amplitudes.
We propose a candidate Compton amplitude which is valid for any (integer) quantum spin and free from any spurious poles. We consider the cases of electromagnetism and gravity. We obtain such amplitudes by calculating the corresponding ones…
We establish that unitarity of scattering amplitudes imposes universal entropy bounds. The maximal entropy of a self-sustained quantum field object of radius R is equal to its surface area and at the same time to the inverse running…
We derive bounds on the mean oscillation of the decreasing rearrangement $f^*$ on $\mathbb{R}_+$ in terms of the mean oscillation of $f$ on a suitable measure space $X$. In the special case of a doubling metric measure space, the bound…

We consider the behavior of the OPE density $c(\Delta,\ell)$ for conformal four-point functions in the flat-space limit where all scaling dimensions become large. We find evidence that the density reduces to the partial waves $f_\ell(s)$ of…
We discuss the general behavior of the near-threshold scattering amplitude with channel couplings. The signal of the exotic hadrons near the threshold may manifest as a dip structure in the cross section originated from a zero point of the…
We review the basic assumptions and spell out the detailed arguments that lead to the bound on the Regge growth of gravitational scattering amplitudes. The minimal extra ingredient compared to the gapped case - in addition to unitarity,…
For semiclassical problems we establish upper bounds on the number of resonances in boxes of size $h$ along the real axis, in terms of the dimension of the set of trapped trajectories. The proof uses second microlocalization.
