In the paper the one-dimensional one-center scattering problem with the initial potential $\alpha |x|^{-1}$ on the whole axis is treated and reduced to the search for allowable self-adjoint extensions. Using the laws of conservation as…
We describe in some detail the derivation of a power counting formula for the soft-collinear effective theory (SCET). This formula constrains which operators are required to correctly describe the infrared at any order in the Lambda_QCD/Q…
We briefly review general concepts of renormalization in quantum field theory and discuss their application to solutions of integral equations with singular potentials in the few-nucleon sector of the low-energy effective field theory of…
When matter fields are included in chiral perturbation theory, the nonvanishing mass in the chiral limit introduces a new energy scale so that the loop diagrams including such matter field propagators spoil the usual power counting.…
The present note summarizes the discourse on power counting issues of chiral nuclear forces, with an emphasis on renormalization-group invariance. Given its introductory nature, I will lean toward narrating a coherent point of view on the…
We discuss the systematics of power counting in general effective field theories, focussing on those that are nonrenormalizable at leading order. As an illuminating example we consider chiral perturbation theory gauged under the…
The idea of reduction of couplings in renormalizable theories will be presented and then will be applied in Particle Physics models. Reduced couplings appeared as functions of a primary one, compatible with the renormalization group…
We present a novel way to compute the one-loop ring-improved effective potential numerically, which avoids the spurious appearence of complex expressions and at the same time is free from the renormalization ambiguities of the…
Power law or generalized polynomial regressions with unknown real-valued exponents and coefficients, and weakly dependent errors, are considered for observations over time, space or space--time. Consistency and asymptotic normality of…
We give final shape to a recent formalism for deriving the functional forms of the primordial power spectra of single-scalar potential models and theories which are related to them by conformal transformation. An excellent analytic…
Rational counterterms are a key ingredient for the automation of loop calculations through numerical methods. Building on the recently established properties of rational terms of UV origin at two loops, in this paper we present a systematic…
Some one-loop diagrams with one and two external baryons/nucleons are revisited using covariant baryon propagators in chiral effective theory. We showed that it is enough to separate and subtract all the local terms that violate chiral…
We construct a superpotential for the general N=1/2 supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to chiral matter in the adjoint representation, and investigate the one-loop renormalisability of the theory.
We argue that the linear sigma model at small external momenta is an effective theory for the leading logarithms of chiral perturbation theory. Based on this assumption an attempt is made to sum these leading logarithms using the standard…
We discuss renormalization of chiral nuclear forces in the 3P0 channel of N N scattering at next- to-next-to leading order (N2LO) if the one-pion exchange is treated nonperturbatively at leading order. The matrix elements of the subleading…
The problem of bound states in effective field theories is studied. A rescaled version of nonrelativistic effective field theory is formulated which makes the velocity power counting of operators manifest. Results obtained using the…
We consider separable toy models of the nucleon-nucleon interaction inspired by chiral effective field theory. We show that nonlocality of the long-range forces causes the need for nonlocal counter terms, or even makes the whole approach…
We discuss the regularization of attractive singular potentials $-\alpha _{s}/r^{s}$, $s\geq 2$ by infinitesimal imaginary addition to interaction constant $\alpha_{s}=\alpha_{s}\pm i0$. Such a procedure enables unique definition of…
We discuss in this paper the subleading contact interactions, or counterterms, in the 3P0 channel of nucleon-nucleon scattering up to O(Q^3), where, already at leading order, Weinberg's original power counting (WPC) scheme fails to fulfill…
We argue that for a large class of N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories the effective superpotential as a function of the glueball chiral superfield is exactly given by a summation of planar diagrams of the same gauge theory. This perturbative…
