Causality Constraints on Gravitational Effective Field Theories

We consider the effective field theory of gravity around black holes, and show that the coefficients of the dimension-8 operators are tightly constrained by causality considerations. Those constraints are consistent with - but tighter than - previously derived causality and positivity bounds and imp...
