We consider various systematic ways of defining unbounded operator valued integrals of complex functions with respect to (mostly) positive operator measures and positive sesquilinear form measures, and investigate their relationships to…
The status of the present precision measurements of electroweak observables is reviewed with specific reference to the radiative parameters $S,T,U$ or equivalently $\epsilon_1,\epsilon_2,\epsilon_3$. The significance of the obliqueness…
We consider a new effective symmetry that acts on a gauge invariant Lagrangian. We show that the standard model after spontaneous symmetry breakdown is invariant under this symmetry which identifies up to a scale factor the gauge parameter…
A Lagrangian formulation is given extending to N = 1 supersymmetry the motion of a charged point particle with spin in a non-abelian external field. The classical formulation is constructed for any external static non-abelian SU(N) gauge…
We consider effects of symmetries on renormalization properties of the collinear effective theory. We investigate which types of operators are possible in the effective theory satisfying gauge invariance, reparameterization invariance and…
Using effective-lagrangian techniques we perform a systematic survey of the lowest-dimension effective interactions through which heavy physics might manifest itself in present experiments. We do not restrict ourselves to special classes of…
Physics beyond the Standard Model could be measured indirectly, through its effects on Standard Model observables. One place to look for such effects is in the semileptonic decays of B mesons. In order to constrain the possible role of new…
Effective Lagrangians were originally used only at the tree level as so-called phenomenological Lagrangians since they were in general non-renormalizable. Today they are treated as effective field theories valid below a characteristic…
Effective theories are well established theoretical frameworks to describe the effect of energetically widely separated UV models on observables at lower energy scales. Due to the complexity of the effective theory when taking all the…
We study the dominant non-universal contributions to muon decay for the five scalar leptoquarks (LQs) allowed by the Standard Model gauge symmetries. By using a common computational framework, we isolate the new-Physics (NP) one-loop…
Motivated by the recent measurement of the dimuon asymmetry by the D{\O} collaboration, which could be interpreted as an enhanced decay rate difference in the neutral $B_d$-meson system, we investigate the possible size of new-physics…
For a light enough Higgs boson, the effective potential of the Standard Model develops a dangerous instability at some high energy scale, Lambda, signalling the need for new physics below that scale. On the other hand, a typical low-energy…
We relate all $C$-- and $P$--invariant anomalous triple vector--boson couplings to the oblique electroweak parameters. LEP constraints on the latter then yield the strongest and most general simultaneous bounds to date on the former. Even…
We define "constructed observables" as relating experimental measurements to terms in a Lagrangian while simultaneously making assumptions about possible deviations from the Standard Model (SM), in other Lagrangian terms. Ensuring that the…
We analyze new physics contributions to $e^+e^-\to W^+W^-$ at the TeV energy scale, employing an effective field theory framework. A complete basis of next-to-leading order operators in the standard model effective Lagrangian is used, both…
Using a manifestly gauge-invariant approach we show that the set of low-energy constants in the electroweak chiral Lagrangian currently used in the literature is redundant. In particular, by employing the equations of motion for the gauge…
It is shown that the off-shell parameters in the interaction Lagrangian of pions, nucleons, and $\Delta$-isobars are redundant in the framework of effective field theories. Our results also suggest the necessity of including the $\Delta$ as…
The aim of the article is to investigate the relative dispersion properties of the Well Mixed class of Lagrangian Stochastic Models. Dimensional analysis shows that given a model in the class, its properties depend solely on a…
Contrary to a widely spread believe, we have demonstrated that strongly coupled electroweak models including both a light Higgs-like boson and massive spin-1 resonances are not in conflict with experimental constraints on the oblique S and…
We study the complete non-decoupling effects of the standard model Higgs boson to one loop. Using effective field theory methods, we integrate out the Higgs boson and represent its non-decoupling effects by a set of gauge invariant…
