The basis transformations of the effective operators often involve Fierz and other relations which are only valid in $D=4$ space-time dimensions. In general, in $D$ space-time dimensions, however, the evanescent operators have to be…
Fierz transformations for four-fermion operators are generalized to the one-loop level. A general renormalization scheme is used to compute QCD and QED corrections to the tree-level relations, which result from Fierz-evanescent operators.…
Effective Field Theory calculations used in countless phenomenological analyses employ dimensional regularization, and at intermediate stages of computations, the operator bases extend beyond the four-dimensional ones. The extra pieces --…
We present a proof of the factorization of renormalization scheme in one-loop-corrected Fierz identities. This scheme factorization facilitates the simultaneous transformation of operator basis and renormalization scheme using only…
Evanescent operators are a special class of operators that vanish classically in four-dimensional spacetime, while in general dimensions they are non-zero and are expected to have non-trivial physical effects at the quantum loop level in…
We study the contribution from dipole operators to one-loop Fierz identities and provide the resulting QCD and QED shifts to the tree-level relations for all four-fermion operators. The results simplify one-loop basis changes as well as…
A novel method to treat effects from evanescent operators in next-to-leading order (NLO) computations is introduced. The approach allows, besides further simplifications, to discard evanescent-to-physical mixing contributions in NLO…
Evanescent operators are a special class of operators that vanish in four-dimensional spacetime but are non-zero in $d=4-2\epsilon$ dimensions. In this paper, we continue our systematic study of the evanescent operators in the pure…
Using background-field method and super-heat-kernel expansion, we derive a master formula for the one-loop UV divergences of the bosonic dimension-6 operators in Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). This approach reduces the…
The anomalous dimension matrix of dimensionally regularized four-quark operators is known to be affected by evanescent operators, which vanish in $D=4$ dimensions. Their definition, however, is not unique, as one can always redefine them by…
We study the renormalization of the QCD $\theta$ angle at the two-loop level focusing on divergent and finite $CP$-violating contributions from evanescent operators, using dimensional regularization with the BMHV scheme. When one considers…
In Effective Field Theories (EFTs) with higher-dimensional operators many anomalous dimensions vanish at the one-loop level for no apparent reason. With the use of supersymmetry, and a classification of the operators according to their…
We calculate a set of one-loop corrections to $h\to b\bar b$ and $h\to \tau\bar \tau$ decays in the dimension-6 Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT). In particular, working in the limit of vanishing gauge couplings, we calculate…
Evanescent operators such as the Gauss-Bonnet term have vanishing perturbative matrix elements in exactly D=4 dimensions. Similarly, evanescent fields do not propagate in D=4; a three-form field is in this class, since it is dual to a…
General analyses of $B$-physics processes beyond the Standard Model require accounting for operator mixing in the renormalization-group evolution from the matching scale down to the typical scale of $B$ physics. For this purpose the…
We calculate the anomalous dimension of the $|\Delta S| = 1$ current-current operators of the weak effective Lagrangian at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NNNLO) in QCD. This constitutes the first step towards a full four-loop…
One-loop Fierz identities are discussed, together with general basis transformations in Effective Field theories at the tree- and one-loop level. To this end, the notion of one-loop shifts is introduced, together with several examples that…
In this talk, a Green's basis and a new physical basis for dimension-seven (dim-7) operators in the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) are proposed. The reduction relations between those two bases are also presented, where some…
We consider a generic class of effective quantum field theories with arbitrary gauge groups and scalar matter fields. In such theories, we derive the one-loop Renormalization Group Equations (RGEs) for the physical dimension-six operators.…
Renormalization of composite three-quark operators in dimensional regularization is complicated by the mixing of physical and unphysical (evanescent) operators. This mixing must be taken into account in a consistent subtraction scheme. In…
