Positivity vs. Lorentz-violation: an explicit example
Abstract
We show how a class of multi-field scalar-field theories in a Lorentz-breaking background imposes consistency conditions on its effective theory of a single field and provides an example of order-unity violation of a naively applied positivity bound, assuming a large hierarchy between the masses of the lightest field and the others.
