Effective field theories of the strong interactions based on the approximate chiral symmetry of QCD provide a model-independent approach to low-energy hadron physics. We give a brief introduction to mesonic and baryonic chiral perturbation…
A pedagogical introduction to low-energy effective field theories. In some of them, heavy particles are "integrated out" (a typical example - the Heisenberg-Euler EFT); in some heavy particles remain but some of their degrees of freedom are…
Field theory is an area in physics with a deceptively compact notation. Although general purpose computer algebra systems, built around generic list-based data structures, can be used to represent and manipulate field-theory expressions,…
Effective field theory of massive Yang-Mills fields interacting with fermions is considered. Perturbative renormalizability in the sense of effective field theory is shown. It is argued that the limit of vanishing vector boson mass leads to…
Effective field theory provides a way of parameterizing strong-field deviations from General Relativity that might be observable in the gravitational waves emitted in a black hole merger. To perform numerical simulations of mergers in such…

We present an effective field theory formulation for a class of condensed matter systems with crystalline structures for which some of the discrete symmetries of the underlying crystal survive the long distance limit, up to mesoscopic…
We discuss briefly the kappa framework, proposed originally as a test for the Higgs couplings of the Standard Model (SM). Further, we discuss a generalization of this idea in terms of effective field theory. We sketch how to add dimension 6…
I start with a historical review of the attempts to construct theories for the origin of nuclear forces, for which I also summaries the most important properties. The review then shifts to its main focus, which is the chiral effective field…
Non-standard topics underlying a partly original approach to gauge field theory are concisely introduced, expressing ideas that were broached in several papers and, eventually, exposed in an organized form in a recently published book. By…
In this whitepaper, I describe modern applications of effective field theory (EFT) techniques to classical and quantum gravity, with relevance to problems in astrophysics and cosmology. As in applications of EFT to high-energy, nuclear, or…
We use the effective field theory for gravitational bound states, proposed by Goldberger and Rothstein, to compute the interaction Lagrangian of a binary system at the second Post-Newtonian order. Throughout the calculation, we use a metric…
In this survey, we review some of the low energy quantum predictions of General Relativity which are independent of details of the yet unknown high-energy completion of the gravitational interaction. Such predictions can be extracted using…
These lectures give an overview of the uses of effective field theories in describing gravitational radiation sources for LIGO or LISA. The first lecture reviews some of the standard ideas of effective field theory (decoupling, matching,…
We discuss a role of dibaryon fields in an effective field theory to study pion cloud effect around the unitary limit of two nucleon systems at low energies.
The paper concerns the effective field theory methods used to study the low energy structure of systems with a spontaneously broken symmetry. I first explain how the method works in the context of quantum chromodynamics and then discuss a…
We formulate an effective field theory describing large mass scalars and fermions minimally coupled to gravity. The operators of this effective field theory are organized in powers of the transfer momentum divided by the mass of the matter…
Massive gravitational modes in effective field theories can be recovered by extending General Relativity and taking into account generic functions of the curvature invariants, not necessarily linear in the Ricci scalar R. In particular,…
