We consider dimension reduction for regression or classification in which the predictors are matrix- or array-valued. This type of predictor arises when measurements are obtained for each combination of two or more underlying variables--for…
There is increasing need to assess the impact and the interpretation of dim = 6 and dim = 8 operators within the context of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). The observational and mathematical consistency of a construct…
The operator product expansion (OPE), truncated in dimension, is employed in many contexts. An example is the extraction of the strong coupling, $\alpha_s$, from hadronic $\tau$-decay data, using a variety of analysis methods based on…
The relations between matrix elements of different P- and T-odd weak interactions are derived. We demonstrate that similar relations hold for parity nonconserving (PNC) transition amplitudes and electron electric dipole moments (EDM) of…

In the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), operators involving the top quark are generally difficult to probe, and can generate sizable loop contributions to the electroweak precision observables, measured by past and future…
We report on some recent progress made in understanding weak matrix elements of mesons in the context of the next-to-leading order of the large-Nc approximation to QCD. Specifically, we first use the example of the weak contributions to the…
We investigate systematically dimension-9 operators in the standard model effective field theory which contains only standard model fields and respects its gauge symmetry. With the help of the Hilbert series approach to classifying…
We consider all the dimension 6 operators as well as some simple extensions of the standard model that give new contributions to neutrino interactions with matter. Such interactions are usually parametrized by $\epsilon_{\alpha \beta}$,…
We establish elements of a new approch to ellipticity and parametrices within operator algebras on a manifold with higher singularities, only based on some general axiomatic requirements on parameter-dependent operators in suitable scales…
We present the two-loop corrected operator matrix elements contributing to the scale evolution of the longitudinal spin structure function $g_1(x,Q^2)$ calculated up to finite terms which survive in the limit $\epsilon = N - 4 \to 0$. These…
We obtain the complete operator bases at mass dimensions 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 for the low energy effective field theory (LEFT), which parametrize various physics effects between the QCD scale and the electroweak scale. The independence of the…
The calculation of higher twist (or dimension) corrections to physical quantities using operator product expansions is delicate. If dimensional regularization is used to regulate the ultra-violet divergences then there are ambiguities in…
We carry out a complete analytical stability study for the SO(8) symmetric phases in the weakly-interacting two-leg ladder. It is shown that the SO(8) symmetry is robust under generic perturbations. Since there are no fixed points in the…
The notion of singular reduction operators, i.e., of singular operators of nonclassical (conditional) symmetry, of partial differential equations in two independent variables is introduced. All possible reductions of these equations to…
We examine the anomalous dimension matrix appropriate for the phase space restricted B --> X(u) ell anti-nu and B --> X(s) gamma decay spectra to subleading nonperturbative order. The effects of the time ordered products of the HQET…
We have gained enough statistical precision to distinguish signal from noise in matrix elements of all operators relevant for the Delta I=1/2 rule in kaon decays and for the direct CP violation parameter epsilon-prime. We confirm…
We use the recently calculated two--loop anomalous dimensions of current-current operators, QCD and electroweak penguin operators to construct the effective Hamiltonian for $\Delta S=1$ transitions beyond the leading logarithmic…
New physics at the TeV scale can affect the dynamics of the electroweak phase transition in many ways. In this note, we evaluate its impact on the rate of baryon-number violation via sphaleron transitions. We parameterize the effect of new…
We discuss the divergence problems recently identified in some extrapolation operators for weakly-relational numeric domains. We identify the cause of the divergences and point out that resorting to more concrete, syntactic domains can be…
