Introductory lectures (delivered at the VI Mexican School of Particles and Fields) on heavy quarks and heavy quark effective field theory. Applications to inclusive semileptonic decays and to interactions with light mesons are covered in…
In this talk I describe a recently introduced field-theoretical approach that can be used as an alternative framework to study one-dimensional systems of highly correlated particles.
This paper has been withdrawn by the author because of publication in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters (Elsevier), which does not permit preprints at arxiv.org
The quantum theory of General Relativity at low energy exists and is of the form called "effective field theory". In this talk I describe the ideas of effective field theory and its application to General Relativity.
In this dissertation, I introduce the principles and methods of effective field theory and describe my work in three EFTs: First, in the perturbative QCD region, I use soft collinear effective theory (SCET) to prove that strong interaction…
This document was prepared as part of the briefing material for the Workshop of the CERN Council Strategy Group, held in DESY Zeuthen from 2nd to 6th May 2006. It gives an overview of the physics issues and of the technological challenges…
This is the first of a series of papers that we intend to publish about the epistemology of fundamental physics in its current state. One of the main objectives of these papers is to improve our understanding of fundamental physics (and…
Effective field theories exploit a separation of scales in physical systems in order to perform systematically improvable, model-independent calculations. They are ideally suited to describe universal aspects of a wide range of physical…
Nuclear effective field theories (EFTs) have been developed over the last quarter-century with considerable impact on the description of light and even medium-mass nuclei. At the core of any EFT is a systematic expansion of observables,…
Non equilibrium effective field theory is presented as an inhomogeneous field theory, using a formulation which is analogous to that of a gauge theory. This formulation underlines the importance of structural aspects of non-equilibrium,…
This Paper (one first and draft version) contains some small imperfections, one its correct and definitive version has been already submitted to one prestigious review of mathematics. More precisely "the Special Function SHIN, II" will be…
A run of preliminary experiments was carried out to check the prediction of possible gravitational field generation process arising by stopping of charged massive particles in a substance predicted by the recently developed Extended Space…
Effective Field Theory (EFT) is the successful paradigm underlying modern theoretical physics, including the "Core Theory" of the Standard Model of particle physics plus Einstein's general relativity. I will argue that EFT grants us a…
The use of effective field theory offers a systematic way to improve calculations of nuclear reactions and the properties of atomic nuclei. Its successes have led to the widespread belief that the predictions of this approach are model…
Nuclear energy density functionals (EDFs) have a long history of success in reproducing properties of nuclei across the table of the nuclides. They capture quantitatively the emergent features of bound nuclei, such as nuclear saturation and…
This work details worked solutions to the various problems set by the lecturers during the course of the Les Houches summer school 2017 on effective field theories in particle physics and cosmology.
Effective field theory provides a powerful framework to exploit a separation of scales in physical systems. In these lectures, we discuss some general aspects of effective field theories and their application to few-body physics. In…
Notes for the upcoming Workshop on Symplectic Field Theory IX, Polyfolds for SFT. These notes are essentially the first few chapters of a forthcoming book entitled "Polyfold Constructions: Tools, Techniques, and Functors"
The goal of this Section is to formulate some of the basic results on the theory of integral equations and mention some of its applications. The literature of this subject is very large. Proofs are not given due to the space restriction.…
