We define chiral fermions in the presence of non-trivial gravitational and gauge background fields in the framework of locally covariant field theory. This allows to straightforwardly compute the chiral anomalies on non-compact Lorentzian…

We present a common chiral power-counting scheme for vector, axial-vector, scalar, and pseudoscalar WIMP-nucleon interactions, and derive all one- and two-body currents up to third order in the chiral expansion. Matching our amplitudes to…
This paper is a sequel in which we derive and simplify the gravitational equations that apply in accelerating cosmological spacetimes. Solutions to these equations should be tantamount to all order resummations of the perturbative leading…
The large double logarithm in loop-induced processes is one kind of logarithm at subleading power, which has a different origin from Sudakov double logarithms. We develop a method with soft-collinear effective theory to resum these large…

We extend the standard second order effective chiral Lagrangian of pions and nucleons by considering the coupling to an external gravitational field. As an application we calculate one-loop corrections to the one-nucleon matrix element of…
The recently proposed hard-pion chiral perturbation theory predicts that the leading chiral logarithms factorize with respect to the energy dependence in the chiral limit. This claim has been successfully tested in the pion form factors up…
The classical approximation provides a non-perturbative approach to time-dependent problems in finite temperature field theory. We study the divergences in hot classical field theory perturbatively. At one-loop, we show that the linear…
Chiral symmetry is used as the guiding principle to derive hard thermal loop effects in chiral perturbation theory. This is done by using a chiral invariant background field method for the non-linear sigma model and the Wess-Zumino-Witten…
Classical and exceptional Lie algebras and their representations are among the most important tools in the analysis of symmetry in physical systems. In this letter we show how the computation of tensor products and branching rules of…
The resummation of logarithms in Quantum Field Theories is a long tale plenty of successes, yet the resummation of logarithms in non-relativistic theories has remained elusive. This was the most frustrating, since the first quantum field…
We perform the leading one-loop renormalization of the chiral Lagrangian for spinless matter fields living in the fundamental representation of SU(N). The Lagrangian can also be applied to any theory with a spontaneous symmetry breaking of…
We express the two-massless-flavor Gell-Mann--Oakes--Renner ratio in terms of low-energy pi-pi observables, including the O(p^6) double chiral logarithms of generalized chiral perturbation theory. Their contribution is sizeable and tends to…
We use the homological perturbation lemma to produce explicit formulas computing the class in the twisted de Rham complex represented by an arbitrary polynomial. This is a non-asymptotic version of the method of Feynman diagrams. In…
