The paper contains a systematic, model-independent treatment of electric dipole (E1) transitions in heavy quarkonium. Within the effective field theory framework of potential non-relativistic QCD (pNRQCD), we derive the complete set of…

The teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) is represented in a field-theoretical form, where tetrad and matter perturbations are propagated on a background solution of TEGR. Thus, the background tetrad and metric satisfy the…
We study the static potential of a color singlet quark-antiquark pair with (fixed) distance r in D=3 and D=2 space-time dimensions at weak coupling (alpha r << 1 and g r << 1, respectively). Using the effective theory pNRQCD we determine…
In this article, we study the renormalization group equations of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and investigate universality conditions on the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters at the Grand Unification scale. We…

We determine the $1/m$ and $1/m^2$ spin-independent heavy quarkonium potentials in the unequal mass case with $\mathcal O(\alpha^3)$ and $\mathcal O(\alpha^2)$ accuracy, respectively. We discuss in detail different methods to calculate the…
We compute the heavy quarkonium mass of $l\not= 0$ (angular momentum) states, with otherwise arbitrary quantum numbers, with next-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (N$^3$LL) accuracy. This constitutes the first observable in heavy…
We apply the relativistic chiral Lagrangian to the nuclear equation of state. An effective chiral power expansion scheme, which is constructed to work around nuclear saturation density, is presented. The leading and subleading terms are…
We present a model of interacting quantum fields, formulated in a non-perturbative manner. One of the fields is treated semi-classically, the other is the photon field. The model has an interpretation of an electromagnetic field in a…
The Skyrme model is reconsidered from an effective theory point of view. Starting with the most general Lagrangian up to including terms of order $p^4$, $N_c$ and $\delta m^2$ ($\delta m\equiv m_s-m$), we obtain new interactions, which have…
Progress towards a complete velocity power counting in non-relativistic effective field theories, especially NRQCD, is motivated and summarised.
We derive the effective Hamiltonian of the Nonrelativistic Quantum Electrodynamic up to $m\alpha^8$ by using scattering matching approach. At $m\alpha^6$ order, these results are coincide with Pachucki's, which is obtained by applying…
I briefly review how nonrelativistic effective field theories solve old puzzles and open problems in heavy quarkonium physics.
We construct supersymmetric field theories on Riemannian three-manifolds M, focusing on N=2 theories with a U(1)_R symmetry. Our approach is based on the rigid limit of new minimal supergravity in three dimensions, which couples to the…
We discuss a general model for effective quantum field theories (QFTs), which for example comprises quantum chromodynamics and quantum electrodynamics. We assume in the model a perturbative expansion of the Lagrangian with respect to a…
We derive recurrence relations for leading logarithmic all-loop quantum corrections in the case of $SO(N)$ symmetric scalar theory with an arbitrary potential in curved spacetime. On this basis, a system of renormalisation group (RG)…

The effective interaction of a neutrino with a photon in magnetized plasma is obtained from a strong field expansion in the electroweak standard model. The interaction is expressed by a Chern-Simons form of the neutrino current and the…
