In N=2 superconformal field theories the Kahler potential is known to be tree level exact. The beta-deformation of N=4 SU(N) SYM reduces the amount of supersymmetry to N=1, allowing for non-trivial, superconformal loop corrections to the…

We consider the one loop effective action in four dimensional Euclidean space for a background chiral field coupled to a spinor field. It proves possible to find an exact expression for this action if the mass $m$ of the spinor vanishes. If…

This is a summary of the analysis of the one-loop effective action in Z_2-orbifold compactifications of type-I theory presented in references [1,2]. We show how, for non-abelian group factors, the threshold effects are ultraviolet finite…

We construct the classical double copy formalism for M-theory. This extends the current state of the art by including the three form potential of eleven dimensional supergravity along with the metric. The key for this extension is to…

We study the quantum theory of an O(N) scalar field on de Sitter geometry at leading order in a nonperturbative 1/N-expansion. This resums the infinite series of so-called superdaisy loop diagrams. We obtain the de Sitter symmetric…

Building over recent results, we expand the basic theory of algebraic extensions to the realm of superfields -a field with multivalued sum and product-, showing that every superfield has a (unique up to isomorphism) strong algebraic…

We investigate the renormalization structure of scalar Galileons in flat spacetime. We explicitly calculate the ultraviolet divergent one-loop contributions to the 2-point, 3-point, 4-point, and 5-point functions. We discuss the structure…

In this talk I describe recent progress in investigating the high energy limit of perturbative QCD. I review some of the steps that have been done in the direction of constructing an effective field theory for this limit. I describe some of…

We derive universal formulae for integrating out heavy degrees of freedom in scalar field theories up to one-loop level in terms of covariant quantities associated with the geometry of the field manifold. The universal matching results can…

In this work, we consider local and nonlocal higher-derivative generalizations of the super-Chern-Simons theory and four-dimensional SQED. In contrast to previous studies, the models studied here also have higher-derivative terms in the…

We derive the leading one-loop contribution to the one-pion exchange and short-range two-nucleon electromagnetic current operator in the framework of chiral effective field theory. The derivation is carried out using the method of unitary…

We obtain a series expansion for the one loop fermion contribution to the effective potential for constant A^a_\mu fields in SU(2) theory with a massive fermionic doublet. The series converges for bounded electric fields in terms of the…

We discuss the limitations of the covariant derivative expansion prescription advocated to compute the one-loop Standard Model (SM) effective lagrangian when the heavy fields couple linearly to the SM. In particular, one-loop contributions…

We study Monte Carlo calculations of the effective potential for a scalar field theory using three techniques. One of these is a new method proposed and tested for the first time. In each case we extract the renormalised quantities of the…

We construct a superpotential for the general N=1/2 supersymmetric gauge theory coupled to chiral matter in the fundamental and adjoint representations, and investigate the one-loop renormalisability of the theories.

We have constructed the leading order strangeness S=-1,-2 baryon-baryon potential in a chiral effective field theory approach. The chiral potential consists of one-pseudoscalar-meson exchanges and non-derivative four-baryon contact terms.…

We calculate the Kahlerian and the lowest order non-Kahlerian contributions to the one loop effective superpotential using super-Feynman graphs in the massless Wess-Zumino Model, the massive Wess-Zumino Model and N=1, U(1) gauge theory. We…

All-order spurion-corrected superpropagators and superfield Feynman rules are employed to systematically compute a two-loop corrected effective potential for the O'Raifeartaigh model, that realizes spontaneous supersymmetry breaking. Though…

We show that the two-loop Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian for scalar QED in a constant Euclidean self-dual background has a simple explicit closed form expression in terms of the digamma function. This result leads to a simple…

We review the recently developed supersymmetric extensions of field theories with non-standard kinetic terms (so-called K field theories) in two an three dimensions. Further, we study the issue of topological defect formation in these…
