We study constraints from causality and unitarity on $2\to2$ graviton scattering in four-dimensional weakly-coupled effective field theories. Together, causality and unitarity imply dispersion relations that connect low-energy observables…
Anomalous moments of the top quark arises from one loop corrections to the vertices $\bar t t g$ and $\bar t t \gamma$. We study these anomalous couplings in different frameworks: effective theories, Standard Model and 2HDM. We use…
We deal with extensions of the Standard Model by adding horizontal interactions between particle generations. We calculate two loop corrections caused by the presence of coupling between hypothetical horizontal gauge bosons and matter…
Distribution functions in hard processes can be described by quark-quark correlators, nonlocal matrix elements of quark fields. Color gauge invariance requires inclusion of appropriate gauge links in these correlators. For transverse…

General Axial Gauges within a perturbative approach to QCD are plagued by 'spurious' propagator singularities. Their regularisation has to face major conceptual and technical problems. We show that this obstacle is naturally absent within a…

We consider the elastic scattering of longitudinally polarized gauge bosons in an SU(2) generalization of topologically massive gauge theory in four dimensions. We show that the amplitude remains finite at large $s$, even though the theory…
We update the indirect bounds on anomalous triple gauge couplings coming from the non-universal one-loop contributions to the $Z \to b \bar{b}$ width. These bounds, which are independent of the Higgs boson mass, are in agreement with the…
