Some algorithms for the numerically exact treatment of fermion determinants are summarised. This is not supposed to be a review, rather a concise handbook. The audience is expected to have a basic understanding of how to put fermions on a…
We consider theories with fermionic degrees of freedom that have a fixed point of Wilson-Fisher type in non-integer dimension $d = 4-2\epsilon$. Due to the presence of evanescent operators, i.e., operators that vanish in integer dimensions,…
We consider electroweak (EW) virtual corrections to $2\to 2$ fermion scattering processes mediated by a vector boson $V$ ($V=W^\pm,Z$) in the pole approximation. As is well known, the computation can be organised into factorisable and…
We write down a minimal basis for dimension-six gauge-invariant four-fermion operators, with some operator replacements with respect to previous ones which make it simpler for calculations. Using this basis we classify all four-fermion…

We construct an effective field theory (EFT) description of the hard photon spectrum for heavy WIMP annihilation. This facilitates precision predictions relevant for line searches, and allows the incorporation of non-trivial energy…
The Wilson fermion determinant can be written in the form of a series expansion in fugacity $\xi=\exp(\mu/T)$, provided that the eigenmodes of the temporally reduced operator are obtained. Since the calculation of all eigenmodes rapidly…
