Two-nucleon axial charge and current operators are derived in chiral effective field theory up to one loop. The derivation is based on time-ordered perturbation theory, and accounts for cancellations between the contributions of irreducible…

We obtain for the first time the two-loop amplitudes for Higgs plus three gluons in Higgs effective field theory including dimension-seven operators. This provides the S-matrix elements for the top mass corrections for Higgs plus a jet…

I review the approach [1] to the one-loop low-energy effective action in the hypermultiplet sector for N=2 superconformal models. Any such a model contains an N=2 vector multiplet and some number of hypermultiplets. We found a general…
