We present a detailed analytic study on the three-dimensional sphere of the most popular candidates for $C$-functions, both for Dirac and scalar free massive fields. We discuss to which extent the effective action, the R\'enyi entanglement…
In this note, motivated by the Klebanov-Polyakov conjecture we investigate the strongly coupled O(N) vector model at large $N$ on a squashed three-sphere and its holographic relation to bulk gravity on asymptotically locally $AdS_4$ spaces.…
The free energy for QCD at high temperature $T$ is calculated to order $g^5$ using effective-field-theory methods to separate the contributions from the momentum scales $T$ and $gT$. The effects of the scale $T$ enter through the…
The zero temperature effective equation of motion is derived for a scalar field interacting with other fields. For a broad range of cases, involving interaction with as few as one or two fields, dissipative regimes are found for the scalar…
We study the slave-boson t-J model of cuprates with high superconducting transition temperatures, and derive its low-energy effective field theory for the charge-spin separated state in a self-consistent manner. The phase degrees of freedom…
We show that, above the critical temperature, if the dimension D of a given Ising spin glass model is sufficiently high, its free energy can be effectively expressed through the free energy of a related Ising model. When, in a large sense,…
We derive the Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theories for diffusion including the lowest non-hydrodynamic degree of freedom from holographic Gubser-Rocha systems. At low temperature the dynamical non-hydrodynamic mode could be either an…
We generalize the effective potential to scalar field configurations which are proportional to the Hubble parameter of a homogeneous and isotropic background geometry. This may be useful in situations for which curvature effects are…
The specific heat and susceptibilities for the two- and one-dimensional spin--orbital models are calculated in the framework of a spherically symmetric self-consistent approach at different temperatures and relations between the parameters…
We consider nonlinear effective actions for a spin-2 field, whose `decoupling' limit gives Fierz-Pauli action in D dimensional maximally symmetric spacetime. We find, especially, the effective action for a partially massless field can take…
The $f(R)$ theory of gravity can be expressed as a scalar tensor theory with a scalar degree of freedom $\phi$. By a conformal transformation, the action and its Gibbons-York-Hawking boundary term are written in the Einstein frame and the…
We apply the thermal (imaginary time) perturbative expansion to the relevant effective field theory to compute characteristics of the phase transition to the ordered state which can occur at low temperatures in the gas of (nonrelativistic)…
Beyond standard model (BSM) particles should be included in effective field theory in order to compute the scattering amplitudes involving these extra particles. We formulate an extension of Higgs effective field theory which contains…
We show that thermal effective field theory controls the long-distance expansion of the partition function of a $d$-dimensional QFT, with an insertion of any finite-order spatial isometry. Consequently, the thermal partition function on a…
The effective potential of quantized scalar field on fuzzy sphere is evaluated to the two-loop level. We see that one-loop potential behaves like that in the commutative sphere and the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism of the radiatively symmetry…
Extensive Monte Carlo study of two-dimensional Ising model is done to investigate the statistical behavior of spin clusters and interfaces as a function of temperature, $T$. We use a \emph{tie-breaking} rule to define interfaces of spin…

Effective field theories encode the predictions of a quantum field theory at low energy. The effective theory has a fairly low ultraviolet cutoff. As a result, loop corrections are small, at least if the effective action contains a term…
The Casimir effect giving rise to an attractive force between the closely spaced two concentric spheres that confine the massless scalar field is calculated by using a direct mode summation with contour integration in the complex plane of…
