Description
In the talk I'll describe the constraints of positivity bounds on the Wilson coefficients in the effective action of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in 4-dimensions. One interesting theory in this class is the open string. We'll discuss the location of the Veneziano amplitude in the supersymmetric EFT-hedron as well as how the convex space behaves as higher and higher derivative operators are included in the analysis.
