The renormalization of composite operators is a fundamental aspect of quantum field theory, relevant for the description of phase transitions and high energy phenomenology. We calculate the anomalous dimensions of a large set of operators…
We evaluate the one-loop $\beta$ functions of all dimension 6 parity-preserving operators in the Abelian Higgs-Kibble model. No on-shell restrictions are imposed; and the (generalized) non-polynomial field redefinitions arising at one-loop…
The recent evidence for the decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ reported by the Belle II collaboration, combined with the existing constraints on the neutral mode $B^0 \to K^{*0} \nu \bar{\nu}$, implies a deviation from the Standard Model…
$S$-matrix elements are invariant under field redefinitions of the Lagrangian. They are determined by geometric quantities such as the curvature of the field-space manifold of scalar and gauge fields. We present a formalism where scalar and…
This study investigates the electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG) in the real singlet extension of the Standard Model (SM), including dimension-six operators, which couple the Higgs boson to a real singlet scalar field. We show that the…
In this article we consider the Standard Model extended by a number of (light) right-handed neutrinos, and assume the presence of some heavy physics that cannot be directly produced, but can be probed by its low-energy effective…
We study the electroweak phase transition in three scalar extension models beyond the Standard Model. Assuming new scalars are decoupled at some heavy scale, we use the covariant derivative expansion method to derive all of the dimension-6…
Physics beyond the Standard Model, realized above the electroweak scale, can be incorporated in a model independent way in the Wilson coefficients of higher dimensional gauge invariant operators. In these proceedings we review the matching…
Working with scalar field theories, we discuss choices of regulator that, inserted in the functional renormalization group equation, reproduce the results of dimensional regularization at one and two loops. The resulting flow equations can…
We explore the impact of radiative $\mu-\tau$ corrections on the renormalization of neutrino mass operators in the Type II Seesaw framework, incorporating both dimension-five and dimension-six operators. Using renormalization group…
We study Active Model B+, a scalar field theory extending the paradigmatic Model B for equilibrium coexistence through including terms that do not arise from an underlying free energy functional and thus break detailed balance. In the first…
Implications of N=4 superconformal symmetry on Berenstein-Maldacena-Nastase (BMN) operators with two charge defects are studied both at finite charge J and in the BMN limit. We find that all of these belong to a single long supermultiplet…
Two-loop anomalous dimensions and one-loop renormalization scheme matching factors are calculated for six-quark operators responsible for neutron-antineutron transitions. When combined with lattice QCD determinations of the matrix elements…
It is shown that the K -> pi pi matrix elements of the four-quark operator Q_7, generated by the electroweak penguin-like diagrams of the Standard Model, can be calculated to first non-trivial order in the chiral expansion and in the 1/Nc…
We discuss the non-anticommutative (N=1/2) supersymmetric Wess-Zumino model in four dimensions. Firstly we introduce differential operators which implement the non-anticommutative supersymmetry algebra acting on the component fields and…
We give a short account of recent advances in our understanding of the $\pi$-dependent terms in massless (Euclidean) 2-point functions as well as in generic anomalous dimensions (ADs) and $\beta$-functions. We extend the considerations of…
We extend the recent formalism developed for computing rapidity anomalous dimension of form factors using unitarity to the problem of high-energy near forward scattering. By combining the factorization of $2\rightarrow 2$ scattering in the…
Neutral diboson processes are precise probes of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, which entail high sensitivity to new physics effects. We identify in terms of dimension-8 effective operators the leading departures from the SM…
We discuss the renormalization of local, scalar and pseudoscalar dimension-5 operators containing a heavy and a light quark field at scales below the heavy-quark mass, using the formalism of the heavy-quark effective theory (HQET). We…
Using the production of a Higgs boson in association with a $W$ boson as a test case, we assess the impact of dimension-8 operators within the context of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Dimension-8--SM-interference and…
