We calculate four-loop QCD corrections to the electroweak $\rho$ parameter with a non-vanishing $b$ quark mass. At three loops, it was observed that elliptic integrals contribute to this observable. This prompts the question of which…
We develop a variational approximation to the entanglement entropy for scalar $\phi^4$ theory in 1+1, 2+1, and 3+1 dimensions, and then examine the entanglement entropy as a function of the coupling. We find that in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions,…

In this paper we compute the four-loop corrections to the QED photon self-energy Pi(Q^2) in the two limits of q=0 and Q^2->infinity. These results are used to explicitly construct the conversion relations between the QED charge renormalized…
We study quantum loop corrections to two-point functions and extraction of physical quantities in a five-dimensional $\phi^4$ theory on an orbifold. At two-loop level, we find that divergence for quartic derivative terms of $(p^2)^2$ appear…
We present the beta functions of gauge and Yukawa couplings in general four-dimensional quantum field theory, at four and three loops, respectively. The essence of our approach is fixing unknown coefficients in the most general ansatz for…
Pade approximations appear to be a powerful tool to extend the validity range of expansions around certain kinematical limits and to combine expansions of different limits to a single interpolating function. After a brief outline of the…
Recently, out-of-equilibrium field theory has been studied using approximations based on truncations of the 2PI effective action. Although results are promising, the convergence of subsequent orders of the approximation is difficult to get…

Low-energy experiments allow for some of the most precise measurements in particle physics, such as $g-2$. To make the most of these experiments, theory needs to match the experimental precision. Over the last decade, this meant that even…
