Partial Waves for Multipositivity

Abstract

We develop a partial-wave formalism providing the missing spin-resolved framework for multipositivity among massless planar amplitudes. We present a systematic procedure for constructing kinematic charts realizing the complex-forward limit. Applying it to obtain the four-, five-, and six-point charts, we show how to derive the one-to-two and one-to-three wavefunctions and construct the associated partial waves. The resulting formalism places higher-point multipositivity on the same footing as conventional partial-wave analyses of two-to-two scattering.
