In this chapter we give a pedagogical introduction to effective potential methods in field theories. We first review the general functional methods leading to the concept of effective action and effective potential. Focusing on the…
After a brief discussion of effective field theory applied to nuclear clusters, I concentrate on the inclusion of two particular aspects, namely, narrow resonances and electromagnetic interactions. As examples of applications, I present the…

Effective field theory provides a way of parameterizing strong-field deviations from General Relativity that might be observable in the gravitational waves emitted in a black hole merger. To perform numerical simulations of mergers in such…
I review the current status of the application of effective field theory to nuclear physics, and its present implications for nuclear astrophysics.
A brief introduction to the low-energy effective field theory of the standard model, chiral perturbation theory, is presented.
We discuss the conditions for an effective field theory (EFT) to give an adequate low-energy description of an underlying physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). Starting from the EFT where the SM is extended by dimension-6 operators,…
During the past two decades, it has been demonstrated that chiral effective field theory represents a powerful tool to deal with nuclear forces in a systematic and model-independent way. Two-, three-, and four-nucleon forces have been…
Effective field theory is considered to provide a highly useful framework for connecting nuclear physics with the symmetries and dynamics of the underlying theory of strong interactions, QCD. Of many issues that are of great current…

One of the central open problems in nuclear physics is the construction of effective interactions suitable for many-body calculations. We discuss a recently developed approach to this problem, where one starts with an effective field theory…

We analyse the phenomenology of a self-interacting scalar field in the context of the chameleon scenario originally proposed by Khoury and Weltman. In the absence of self-interactions, this type of scalar field can mediate long range…
A system of fermions with short-range interactions at finite density is studied using the framework of effective field theory. The effective action formalism for fermions with auxiliary fields leads to a loop expansion in which…
In this talk I discuss three related topics based on some of the recent developments in hadron and nuclear physics: one, effective field theory approach to two-nucleon systems; two, an explanation of the flavor singlet axial charge in the…
Chapter one is devoted to a study of fermions and bosons in two spatial dimensions in external electromagnetic fields. The effectve action is calculated by integrating out the matter fields. In chapter two, I investigate the resummation…
I give a brief review of effective field theory, disscussing the contribution of Feza G\"ursey in particular and focusing on the literature I am most familiar with.
We review recent applications of nonlocal effective field theory, focusing in particular on nonlocal chiral effective theory and nonlocal quantum electrodynamics (QED), as well as an extension of nonlocal effective theory to curved…
This chapter reviews the construction of ``soft-collinear gravity'', the effective field theory which describes the interaction of collinear and soft gravitons with matter (and themselves), to all orders in the soft-collinear power…
Effective field theory techniques are used to describe the interaction of heavy hadrons in a model independent way. Predictability is obtained by exploiting the symmetries of QCD. Heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory is reviewed and used…
