In this work, we investigate the renormalization of the gauge-invariant composite operators proposed in \cite{Dudal:2023jsu} to describe the $SU(2)\times U(1)$ Higgs model from a gauge-invariant perspective. To establish the relationship…
In the same spirit as heterotic weight lifting, B-L lifting is a way of replacing the superfluous and ubiquitous U(1)_{B-L} with something else with the same modular properties, but different conformal weights and ground state dimensions.…
A systematic approach to the description of gauge invariant charges is presented and applied to the construction of both the static colour charge configuration in QCD and the monopole solution in pure SU(2). The gauge invariant non-abelian…

We calculate the perturbative corrections to fermion bilinears that are used in numerical simulations when extracting weak matrix elements using staggered fermions. This extends previous calculations of Golterman and Smit, and Daniel and…

We propose a way to identify the gauge invariant operator in noncommutative gauge theory on a D-brane with nonzero B field which couples to a specific supergravity mode in the bulk. This uses the description of noncommutative gauge theories…

We construct a family of bilinear differential operators which satisfy certain gauge properties. These operators can be naturally associated with $q$-deformations of classical integrable hierarchies. In particular, we consider the case when…
Inclusive semileptonic decays of beauty baryons are studied using the heavy quark expansion to ${\cal O}(1/m_b^3)$, at leading order in $\alpha_s$. The case of a polarized decaying baryon is examined, with reference to $\Lambda_b$. An…
We prove the renormalizability to all orders of a refined Gribov-Zwanziger type action in linear covariant gauges in four-dimensional Euclidean space. In this model, the Gribov copies are taken into account by requiring that the…
We discuss how reparameterization invariance connects a rotationally-invariant heavy particle effective theory with a single fermion to a Lorentz-invariant theory. Using Hilbert-series methods, a Lorentz-invariant operator basis is…
We consider the use of interpolating gauges (with a gauge function (F[A;alpha ]) in gauge theories to connect the results in a set of different gauges in the path-integral formulation. We point out that the results for physical observables…
