This article discusses nonconforming finite element methods for convex minimization problems and systematically derives dual mixed formulations. Duality relations lead to simple error estimates that avoid an explicit treatment of…
Hyperon non-leptonic weak decay amplitudes are studied in the chiral perturbation theory. The weak interaction vertices caused by the four quark operators are substituted by the products of the hadronic currents and by the…
We perform a systematical study of the dimension-9 short-range $0\nu\beta\beta$ decay operators at one-loop level. There are only six genuine topologies which generate eight diagrams, and the recipe to identify the possible one-loop…
Dimensionality reduction is a popular preprocessing and a widely used tool in data mining. Transparency, which is usually achieved by means of explanations, is nowadays a widely accepted and crucial requirement of machine learning based…
We discuss the possibilities of extracting the constraints on New Physics by using the current data on the leptonic and semileptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons. In doing so we use a general low energy Lagrangian that besides the vector…
The effects of extra dimensions on gauge coupling unification is studied. We start with a comparison between power law running of the gauge couplings in models with extra dimensions and logarithmic running that happens in many realistic…
The role of cut-off and dimensional regularizations is discussed in the context of obtaining a renormalized nucleon-nucleon potential from the chiral Lagrangian formulation of the effective field theory due to Weinberg. Both types of…
The calculation of higher-order binding corrections to bound systems is a fundamental problem of theoretical physics. For any nonrelativistic expansion, one needs the Foldy-Wouthuysen Transformation which disentangles the particle and the…
We consider one loop QCD corrections and renormalization group running of the neutrinoless double beta decay amplitude focusing on the short-range part of the amplitude (without the light neutrino exchange) and find that these corrections…
In this review, three subjects are discussed: a phenomenological application of lattice predictions to $K^0$--$\bar K^0$ mixing in Super Symmetry; a discussion of the non-perturbative renormalization methods for four-fermion operators and a…
In the chiral limit, the $D=6$ contribution to the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) of the $\mathrm{VV-AA}$ correlator of quark currents only depends on two vacuum condensates, which can be related to hadronic matrix elements associated to…
Semileptonic decays of the B mesons provide an excellent probe for the weak and strong interactions of the bottom quark. The large data samples collected at the B Factories have pushed the experimental studies of the semileptonic B decays…
The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) provides a robust framework for probing deviations in the couplings of Standard Model particles from their theoretical predictions. This framework relies on an expansion in…
The effects of weak point-like disorder on periodic systems at their upper critical dimension D_c for disorder are studied. The systems studied range from simple elastic systems with D_c=4 to systems with long range interactions with D_c=2…
We construct a complete basis of dimension-8 operators in the Low-Energy Effective Field Theory below the Electroweak Scale (LEFT). We find there are 35058 dimension-8 operators in the LEFT for two generations of up-type quarks and three…
We reconsider the dispersive evaluation of the weak matrix elements <2pi_{I=2}|Q_{7,8}|K0> in the chiral limit. The perturbative matching is accomplished fully within the scheme dependence used in the two loop weak OPE calculations. The…
In particle physics, the modern view is to categorize things in terms of effective field theories (EFTs). Above the weak scale, we have the SMEFT, formed when the heavy new physics (NP) is integrated out, and for which the Standard Model…
We analyze the impact of QCD corrections on limits derived from neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$). As demonstrated previously, the effect of the color-mismatch arising from loops with gluons linking the quarks from different…
We show that the analyticity and crossing symmetry of the S-matrix, together with the optical theorem, impose restrictions on the renormalisation group evolution of dimension-eight operators in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory.…
The scalar and vector Laplacians are basic operators in physics and engineering. In applications, they show up frequently perturbed by lower-order terms. The effect of such perturbations on mixed finite element methods in the scalar case is…
