Perturbative expansions of relativistic quantum field theories typically contain ultraviolet divergences requiring regularization and renormalization. Many different regularization techniques have been developed over the years, but most…
We recall a natural framework to deal with local field theory in which bare amplitudes are completely finite. We first present the main general properties of this scheme, the so-called Taylor-Lagrange regularization scheme. We then…
Effective field theory provides a perturbative framework to study the evolution of cosmological large-scale structure. We investigate the underpinnings of this approach, and suggest new ways to compute correlation functions of cosmological…
We consider the problem of determining the beta-functions for any reduced effective field theory. Even though not all the Green's functions of a reduced effective field theory are renormalizable, unlike the full effective field theory,…
The one loop effects of two dimension-six operators on gauge boson self energies are computed within an effective field theory framework. These self energies are translated into effects on precision electroweak observables, and bounds are…
Since fields in the heavy quark effective theory are described by both a velocity and a residual momentum, there is redundancy in the theory: small shifts in velocity may be absorbed into a redefinition of the residual momentum. We…
Algebraic non-covariant gauges are used often in string theory, Chern-Simons theory, gravitation and gauge theories. Loop integrals, however, have spurious singularities that need to be regularized. The most popular and consistent…
