We show that the tree-level spectrum of heavy particles can be directly extracted from the Wilson coefficients of the corresponding effective field theory at low energies. This procedure is exact when the number of resonances is finite, and…

We present an effective field theory (EFT) for a model-independent description of deformed atomic nuclei. In leading order this approach recovers the well-known results from the collective model by Bohr and Mottelson. When higher-order…
Non equilibrium effective field theory is presented as an inhomogeneous field theory, using a formulation which is analogous to that of a gauge theory. This formulation underlines the importance of structural aspects of non-equilibrium,…
Exceptional field theories are the manifestly duality covariant formulations of the target space theories of string/M-theory in the low-energy limit (supergravity) or for certain truncations. These theories feature a rich system of…

Critical systems are described by conformal field theories, whose dynamics can be exactly solved in two dimensions. In the presence of a boundary, with the so-called method of images it is possible to study the surface critical behaviour of…
Let k be a local field and let A be the two-by-two matrix algebra over k. In our previous work we developed a theory that allows the computation of the set of maximal orders in A containing a given suborder. This set is given as a sub-tree…
The theory of Ihara zeta functions is extended to non-compact arithmetic quotients of Bruhat-Tits trees. This new zeta function turns out to be a rational function, despite the infinite-dimensional setting. In general it has zeros and…
Liouville conformal field theory is considered with conformal boundary. There is a family of conformal boundary conditions parameterized by the boundary cosmological constant, so that observables depend on the dimensional ratios of boundary…
Aspects of parity-preserving, three-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) with a global $U(1)$ symmetry in the presence of a background magnetic field are investigated. A local effective action is constructed to four-derivative order,…
A new effective field theory has been developed to describe shallow $P$-wave resonances using nonlocal, momentum-dependent two-body potentials. This approach is expected to facilitate many-body calculations and has been demonstrated to…
Effective field theories have often been applied to systems with deeply inelastic reactions that produce particles with large momenta outside the domain of validity of the effective theory. The effects of the deeply inelastic reactions have…
We use the effective field theory for gravitational bound states, proposed by Goldberger and Rothstein, to compute the interaction Lagrangian of a binary system at the second Post-Newtonian order. Throughout the calculation, we use a metric…
We discuss an effective field theory (EFT) approach to the computation of fluctuation-induced interactions between particles bound to a thermally fluctuating fluid surface controlled by surface tension. By describing particles as points,…
We discuss some basic aspects of effective field theory applied to supergravity theories which arise in the low-energy limit of string theory. Our discussion is particularly relevant to the effective field theories of no-scale…
We study the BSFT actions by using an analytic continuation in momentum space. We compute various two- and three- point functions for some low-lying excitations including massive states on BPS/non-BPS D-branes. The off-shell two-point…
