We present a minimal basis for non-derivative baryon-number-violating operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory up to mass dimension 11, as well as for the $(\Delta B,\Delta L) = (2,2)$ and $(2,-2)$ operators at dimension 12.…

We calculate the complete order y^2 and y^4 terms of the 59 x 59 one-loop anomalous dimension matrix for the dimension-six operators of the Standard Model effective field theory, where y is a generic Yukawa coupling. These terms, together…
Despite a large experimental effort, so far no evidence for flavour-violating decays of charged leptons such as $l_i\to l_j\gamma$ and $l_i\to l_j l_k l_k$ has been found. The absence of a signal puts very severe constraints on many…
We show that the analyticity and crossing symmetry of the S-matrix, together with the optical theorem, impose restrictions on the renormalisation group evolution of dimension-eight operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory.…
Using on-shell methods, we present a new perturbative non-renormalization theorem for operator mixing in massless four-dimensional quantum field theories. By examining how unitarity cuts of form factors encode anomalous dimensions we show…

Physics from beyond the Standard Model can induce four fermion operators involving a quark, an anti-quark, a lepton and an anti-lepton. The coefficients of these operators can be constrained by various observations. We update the bounds…
We study constraints on dimension-7 SMEFT baryon-number-violating operators from nucleon decays by incorporating full renormalization group (RG) running effects. At high new physics scales, we demonstrate that RG running effects help set…

Lepton-number-violating interactions occur in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) at odd dimensions starting from the dimension-5 Weinberg operator. Although the operators at dimension-7 and higher are more suppressed by the…
We consider all possible scalar bilinears, which couple to two fermions of the standard model. The various baryon and lepton number violating couplings allowed by these exotic scalars are studied. We then discuss which ones are constrained…
