We write down a geometric realization of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) extended by $n_f$ flavours of light sterile neutrinos, a so-called geo$\nu$SMEFT. As with the geoSMEFT introduced by Helset, Martin and Trott, we…
The method of effective field theories (EFTs) is developed for the scattering of two particles at wavelengths which are large compared to the range of their interaction. It is shown that the renormalized EFT is equivalent to the effective…

To obtain a first order phase transition requires large new physics corrections to the Standard Model (SM) Higgs potential. This implies that the scale of new physics is relatively low, raising the question whether an effective field theory…

Effective field theories (EFT) parameterize the long-distance effects of short-distance dynamics whose details may or may not be known. It is known that EFT coefficients must obey certain positivity constraints if causality and unitarity…

The precise measurement of the Higgs boson properties requires a robust framework to parametrize possible deviations from Standard Model (SM) predictions in the most model-independent way possible. The Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework…

Effective field theories (EFTs) provide a powerful framework to parametrise unknown aspects of possible ultraviolet (UV) physics. For scalar fields in de Sitter space, however, new emergent phenomena can arise when the cut-off scale of the…
We classify effective field theory (EFT) deformations of the Standard Model (SM) according to the analyticity property of the Lagrangian as a function of the Higgs doublet H. Our distinction in analytic and non-analytic corresponds to the…
The characteristics of a meaningful effective field theory (EFT) analysis are discussed and compared with traditional approaches to NN scattering. A key feature of an EFT treatment is a systematic expansion in powers of momentum, which is…
We discuss heavy particles that can be used to pin down the faithful Standard Model (SM) gauge group and their patterns in the SM effective field theory (SMEFT). These heavy particles are not invariant under a specific $\mathbb{Z}_6$…
