The decay rate of neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay contains terms from heavy particle exchange, which lead to dimension-9 (d=9) six fermion operators at low energies. Limits on the coefficients of these operators have been…
We for the first time identify all the dimension-8 (dim-8) SMEFT operators that can have an interference with the SM with $E^4/\Lambda^4$ enhancement in the high energy limit for the processes $q\bar{q}\to WW/WZ$. Our results therefore…
Recent developments in higher order calculations within the framework of Dimensional Reduction, the preferred regularization scheme for supersymmetric theories, are reported on. Special emphasis is put on the treatment of evanescent…
We present a comprehensive analysis of dimension-8 and dimension-6 effects in fully leptonic $WZ$ and $WW$ production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) within the Standard Model (SM) Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We focus on dimension-8…
The two-body decay rate of a weakly decaying particle (such as the kaon) is shown to be proportional to the square of a well-defined transition matrix element in finite volume. Contrary to the physical amplitude, the latter can be extracted…
We investigate dimensional reduction, the property that the critical behavior of a system in the presence of quenched disorder in dimension d is the same as that of its pure counterpart in d-2, and its breakdown in the case of the…
We consider the flavour-changing operators associated with the strong axial and trace anomalies. Their short-distance generation through penguin-like diagrams is obtained within the QCD external field formalism. Standard-model operator…
We analyze the renormalon ambiguities that appear in factorization formulas in QCD. Our analysis contains a simple argument that the ambiguities in the short-distance coefficients and operator matrix elements are artifacts of…
In this talk I describe work on computing non-leptonic matrix elements consistently with both long and short distance contributions included. On the simpler example of the $\pi^+$-$\pi^0$ mass difference I explain in detail the matching…
We review the present status of QCD corrections to weak decays beyond the leading logarithmic approximation including particle-antiparticle mixing and rare and CP violating decays. After presenting the basic formalism for these calculations…
The anomalous dimension matrix of dimensionally regularized four-quark operators is known to be affected by evanescent operators, which vanish in $D=4$ dimensions. Their definition, however, is not unique, as one can always redefine them by…
Using the production of a Higgs boson in association with a $W$ boson as a test case, we assess the impact of dimension-8 operators within the context of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. Dimension-8--SM-interference and…
We consider rare semileptonic decays of a heavy $D$-meson into a light vector meson in the framework of QCD factorization. In contrast to the corresponding $B$-meson decays, the naive factorization hypothesis does not even serve as a first…
We demonstrate that almost all non-parametric dimensionality reduction methods can be expressed by a simple procedure: regularized loss minimization plus singular value truncation. By distinguishing the role of the loss and regularizer in…
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…
The purpose of this thesis is to develop new theories on high-dimensional structured signal recovery under a rather weak assumption on the measurements that only a finite number of moments exists. High-dimensional recovery has been one of…
In single-component theories of dark matter, the $2\to 2$ amplitudes for dark-matter production, annihilation, and scattering can be related to each other through various crossing symmetries. These crossing relations lie at the heart of the…
