The loop expansion is applied to a chiral effective hadronic lagrangian; with the techniques of Infrared Regularization, it is possible to separate out the short-range contributions and to write them as local products of fields that are…

The effective Lagrangian and power counting rules for non-relativistic gauge theories are derived via an expansion in $1/c$. It is shown that the $1/c$ expansion leads to an effective field theory which incorporates a multipole expansion.…
We construct effective Hamiltonians which despite their apparently nonrelativistic form incorporate relativistic effects by involving parameters which depend on the relevant momentum. For some potentials the corresponding energy eigenvalues…
