The effects of a nonsimply connected spacetime with the topology of $S^{1}\times R^{3}$ in the vacua of QED and gauged-NJL theories are investigated. It is shown that the polarization effects of twisted and untwisted fermions in QED are…
We use the amplitude soft bootstrap method to explore the space of effective field theories (EFT) of massless vectors and scalars. It is known that demanding vanishing soft limits fixes uniquely a special class of EFTs: non-linear sigma…

We provide universal expressions for the classical piece of the amplitude given by the graviton/photon exchange between massive particles of arbitrary spin, at both tree and one loop level. In the gravitational case this leads to higher…
Following a recent proposal to describe inelastic eikonal scattering processes in terms of gravitationally dressed elastic eikonal amplitudes, we motivate a collinear double graviton dressing and investigate its properties. This is derived…

We investigate the general relativistic phase of an electromagnetic wave as it propagates in the gravitational field of the Earth, which is modeled as an isolated, weakly aspherical gravitating body. We introduce coordinate systems to…
We show that the recently discovered logarithmic terms in the soft graviton theorem induce a late time component in the gravitational wave-form that falls off as inverse power of time, producing a tail term to the linear memory effect.
The principal goal of the physics of the fundamental interactions is to provide a consistent description of the nature of the subnuclear forces, which manifest in our universe, together with the gravitational force, in a unified framework.…
Asymptotic symmetries of theories with gravity in d=2m+2 spacetime dimensions are reconsidered for m>1 in light of recent results concerning d=4 BMS symmetries. Weinberg's soft graviton theorem in 2m+2 dimensions is re-expressed as a Ward…
We study the effects of model-dependent contributions and the electric quadrupole moment of vector mesons in the decays $V^- \to P^-P^0\gamma$ and $\tau^- \to \nu V^-\gamma$. Their interference with the amplitude originating from the…
We consider effective field theories (EFTs) of scalar fields with broken Lorentz boosts, which arise by taking the decoupling and flat-space limits of the EFT of inflation, and derive constraints that must be satisfied by the corresponding…
Waveforms are classical observables associated with any radiative physical process. Using scattering amplitudes, these are usually computed in a weak-field regime to some finite order in the post-Newtonian or post-Minkowskian approximation.…
We derive an effective gravitational potential, induced by the quantum wavefunction of a physical vacuum of a self-gravitating configuration, while the vacuum itself is viewed as the superfluid described by the logarithmic quantum wave…
Periodic spatial variations of some parameter arise in analogue gravity experiments aimed at detecting the analogue version of the Hawking effect in a white hole flow. Having the same spatial periodicity as low-frequency dispersive modes,…

QED gauge invariance, when combined with analyticity, leads to constraints on the low energy end of the emitted photon spectra. This is known as Low's theorem. It is shown that the Ore-Powell result, as well as further developments for the…

We show that in supersymmetric theories, knowing the soft theorem for a single particle in a supermultiplet allows one to immediately determine soft theorems for the remainder of the supermultiplet. While soft theorems in supersymmetric…
The effective quantum field theory description of gravity, despite its non-renormalizability, allows for predictions beyond classical general relativity. As we enter the age of gravitational wave astronomy, an important and timely question…
