Speaker

Dr Andrew Tolley (Imperial College London)

Description

I will discuss how the constraints from unitarity and analyticity lead to an infinite number of positivity constraints on low energy effective theories, starting initially with scalars and then generalising to theories with spin, in particular gravitational theories.
