We consider nonrelativistic superfluids where the global U(1)-symmetry is spontaneously broken. At sufficiently long wavelengths, the relevant degree of freedom is the massless Goldstone mode and we construct an effective low energy theory…
We explore the possibility of probing flavor violations in the charged-lepton sector by means of high-luminosity lepton-photon and electron-muon collisions, by inverting initial and final states in a variety of decay channels presently used…
We investigate spontaneous symmetry breaking within the linear sigma model with the SU(2)xU(1) internal symmetry at finite chemical potential, which was suggested as a model for kaon condensation in the CFL phase of dense quark matter.…
In a recent paper, we developed and applied a dilaton-based effective field theory (EFT) to the analysis of lattice-simulation data for a class of confining gauge theories with near-conformal infrared behavior. It was employed there at the…
We study the one-loop corrections to Vector Boson Scattering (in particular $W^+W^-$ elastic scattering) within the framework of effective theories. Re-scattering via intermediate electroweak would-be-Goldstone bosons dominate at high…

The s-wave pion-kaon ($\pi K$) scattering lengths at zero momentum are calculated in lattice QCD with sufficiently light $u/d$ quarks and strange quark at its physical value by the finite size formula. The light quark masses correspond to…
We give a detailed discussion of the recently developed Generalized Dynamical Mean-Field Theory (GDMFT) for a mixture of bosonic and fermionic particles. We show that this method is non-perturbative and exact in infinite dimensions and…

We present the spectrum of baryons in a new SU(4) gauge theory with fundamental fermion constituents. The spectrum of these bosonic baryons is of significant interest for composite dark matter theories. Here, we compare the spectrum and…
SU(3) gauge theories with increasing number of light fermions are the templates of strongly interacting sectors and studying their low-energy dynamics and spectrum is important, both for understanding the strong dynamics of QCD itself, but…
We present a novel approach to classify supersymmetric effective field theories (EFTs) whose scattering amplitudes exhibit enhanced soft limits. These enhancements arise due to non-linearly realised symmetries on the Goldstone modes of such…
In this paper, we study the low-energy $d-\alpha$ elastic scattering within the two-body cluster effective field theory (EFT) framework. The importance of the $d(\alpha,\alpha) d$ scattering in the $^6 \textrm{Li} $ production reaction…
An earlier calculation in a generalized linear sigma model showed that the well-known current algebra formula for low energy pion pion scattering held even though the massless Nambu Goldstone pion contained a small admixture of a two-quark…
Electron-phonon interaction in copper oxide superconductors is still enigmatic. Strong coupling for certain optic phonons is now well established experimentally, but theoretical understanding is challenging. Scattering of electrons near the…
We examine the possibility that the recently discovered 125 GeV higgs like resonance actually corresponds to a dilaton: the Goldstone boson of scale invariance spontaneously broken at a scale f. Comparing to LHC data we find that a dilaton…
We study the low-energy excitations of a bosonic lattice gas with cavity-mediated interactions. By performing two successive Hubbard-Stratonovich transformations, we derive an effective field theory to study the strongly-coupling regime.…
