An exactly solvable large $N$ model is constructed which reduces at low energies to the Standard Model plus the dimension six Higgs-gauge operators $g_1^2 H^\dagger H B_{\mu \nu} B^{\mu \nu}$, $g_2^2 H^\dagger H W^a_{\mu \nu} W^{a\mu \nu}$,…
It has recently been argued that soft-collinear effective theory for processes involving both soft and collinear partons contains a new soft-collinear mode, which can communicate between the soft and collinear sectors of the theory. The…
We propose a new entry within the dictionary of the AdS/CFT duality at strong coupling: in the limit of a large spin or a large R-charge, the anomalous dimension of the gauge theory operator dual to a semiclassical rotating string is…
The local composite gluon-ghost operator $({1/2}A^{a\mu}A_{\mu}^{a}+\alpha \bar{c}^{a}c^{a})$ is analysed in the framework of the algebraic renormalization in SU(N) Yang-Mills theories in the Landau, Curci-Ferrari and maximal abelian…
We study the potential effect of anomalous couplings of the third generation quarks to gauge bosons in rare B decays. We focus on the constraints from flavor changing neutral current processes such as $b\to s\gamma$ and $b\to s…
We study three well known models of matter coupled to the ultraviolet cutoff, quantized radiation field and to the Coulomb potential of arbitrarily many nuclei. Two are nonrelativistic: the first uses the kinetic energy (p+eA(x))^2 and the…
We develop the idea of an effective conformal theory describing the low-lying spectrum of the dilatation operator in a CFT. Such an effective theory is useful when the spectrum contains a hierarchy in the dimension of operators, and a small…
Three related analyses of $\phi^4$ theory with $O(N)$ symmetry are presented. In the first, we review the $O(N)$ model over the $p$-adic numbers and the discrete renormalization group transformations which can be understood as spin blocking…
We calculate one-loop renormalization factors of generic DeltaS=2 four-quark operators for domain-wall QCD with the plaquette gauge action and the Iwasaki gauge action. The renormalization factors are presented in the modified minimal…
In the framework of the effective field theory approach to heavy supersymmetry radiative corrections in the Higgs sector of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) for the effective potential decomposition up to the dimension-six…
The recent CDF-II measurement of the $W$-boson mass shows a strong tension with the corresponding Standard Model prediction. Once active neutrino masses are explained in the context of the Low-Scale Seesaw mechanisms, this tension can be…
We compute the one loop anomalous dimension of the gauge invariant dimension two operator min_U (A^U_mu)^2, where U is an element of the gauge group, by exploiting Zwanziger's expansion of the operator in terms of gauge invariant non-local…
We present DsixTools, a Mathematica package for the handling of the dimension-six Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Among other features, DsixTools allows the user to perform the full one-loop Renormalization Group Evolution of the…
We establish an algorithm for a criterion of the diagonalisability of a matrix over a local field by a unitary matrix. For this sake, we define the notion of normality of a $p$-adic operator, and give several criteria for the normality. We…
Dimensional Reduction is applied to \qcd{} in order to compute various renormalization constants in the \drbar{} scheme at higher orders in perturbation theory. In particular, the $\beta$ function and the anomalous dimension of the quark…
We construct a complete basis of dimension-8 operators in the Low-Energy Effective Field Theory below the Electroweak Scale (LEFT). We find there are 35058 dimension-8 operators in the LEFT for two generations of up-type quarks and three…
We perform a model-independent fit of the short-distance couplings $C_{7,9,10}$ within the Standard Model set of $b\to s\gamma$ and $b\to s\bar\ell\ell$ operators. Our analysis of $B \to K^* \gamma$, $B \to K^{(*)} \bar\ell\ell$ and $B_s…
An analysis of the rare B decays $B\to K^{(*)}\nu\bar\nu$ is presented both within the SM and beyond. The SM predictions for the branching ratios are updated and uncertainties reduced. For the NP analysis both a model independent approach…
We discuss the conformal factor dynamics in $D=6$. Accepting the proposal that higher-derivative dimensionless terms in the anomaly-induced effective action may be dropped, we obtain a superrenormalizable (like in $D=4$) effective theory…
Effective operators relevant for generating small Majorana masses for the neutrinos in the Standard Model will be considered. These operators serve as a useful guide for building models of neutrino mass. Some of these operators are…
