In these 4 lectures, I give a brief introduction to the principles of effective field theory and discuss their application via 3 examples: (i) the Standard Model as an effective theory; (ii) non-linear sigma models and the composite Higgs;…
We analyze the form factors of the electromagnetic nucleon-to-Roper-resonance transition in the framework of low-energy effective field theory. A systematic power-counting procedure is generated by applying the complex-mass scheme. Within…
Effective field theories (EFTs) are widely considered by physicists to be explanatory and to be the appropriate frameworks for modelling various phenomena at different scales. At the same time, they are known to be approximate, restricted,…
We discuss the limitations to the use of the effective field theory approach to study dark matter at the LHC. We introduce and study a few quantities, some of them independent of the ultraviolet completion of the dark matter theory, which…
This paper provides some first steps in developing empirical process theory for functions taking values in a vector space. Our main results provide bounds on the entropy of classes of smooth functions taking values in a Hilbert space, by…
We develop a theory of tensor categories over a field endowed with abstract operators. Our notion of a "field with operators", coming from work of Moosa and Scanlon, includes the familiar cases of differential and difference fields,…
The aim of this article is to explore in all remaining aspects the spectral theory of locally normal operators. In a previous article we proved the spectral theorem in terms of locally spectral measures. Here we prove the spectral theorem…
Effective field theory (EFT) approaches are widely used at the LHC, such that it is important to study their validity, and ease of matching to specific new physics models. In this paper, we consider an extension of the SM in which a top…
The effective field theory approach to high temperature field theory can be used to study the phase transition in theories with spontaneously broken symmetry. I construct a sequence of two effective three--dimensional field theories which…
Linear spaces with an Euclidean metric are ubiquitous in mathematics, arising both from quadratic forms and inner products. Operators on such spaces also occur naturally. In recent years, the study of multivariate operator theory has made…
We present an integral formalism for constructing scheme transformations in a quantum field theory. We apply this to generate several new useful scheme transformations. A comparative analysis is given of these scheme transformations in…
This review gives an overview of effective field theory (EFT) as applied at finite density, with a focus on nuclear many-body systems. Uniform systems with short-range interactions illustrate the ingredients and virtues of many-body EFT and…
The appropriate power counting for the effective field theory of NN interactions is reviewed. It is more subtle than in most effective field theories since in the limit that the S-wave NN scattering lengths go to infinity it is governed by…
Processes involving narrow jets receive perturbative corrections enhanced by logarithms of the jet opening angle and the ratio of the energies inside and outside the jets. Analyzing cone-jet processes in effective field theory, we find that…
We introduce a zeta function counting imaginary quadratic number fields by their class numbers. It is proved that such a function is rational depending only on the eight roots of unity of degrees $1$ and $2$. As a corollary, one gets a…
This is a lightly edited version of the talk given on September 30, 2020 to inaugurate the international seminar series {\it All Things EFT}. It reviews some of the early history of effective field theories, and concludes with a discussion…
The theory of Toeplitz quantization presented in our previous paper is extended and further developed to include diverse and interesting non-commutative realizations of the classical Euclidean plane. This is done using Hilbert spaces of…
We derive Ward identities for the Standard Model Effective Field Theory using the background field method. The resulting symmetry constraints on the Standard Model Effective Field Theory are basis independent, and constrain the perturbative…
In this dissertation, I introduce the principles and methods of effective field theory and describe my work in three EFTs: First, in the perturbative QCD region, I use soft collinear effective theory (SCET) to prove that strong interaction…
An axiomatic quantum field theory applied to the self-interacting boson field is realised in terms of generalised operators that allows us to form products and take derivatives of the fields in simple and mathematically rigorous ways.…
