contents We discuss the structure of the mixing among dimension-eight operators in the SMEFT relying on the positivity of two-to-two forward scattering amplitudes. We uncover tens of new non-trivial zeros as well as hundreds of terms with definite sign in (a particular basis of) the corresponding anomalous dimension matrix. We highlight that our results are not immediately apparent from the Feynman diagrammatic perspective, nor from on-shell amplitude methods. As a byproduct of this work, we provide positivity bounds not previously derived in the literature, as well as explicit values of certain elements of the anomalous dimension matrix that serve for cross-check of our results.
