The existence of a positive linear functional acting on the space of (differences between) conformal blocks has been shown to rule out regions in the parameter space of conformal field theories (CFTs). We argue that at the boundary of the…

We systematically explore the space of scalar effective field theories (EFTs) consistent with a Lorentz invariant and local S-matrix. To do so we define an EFT classification based on four parameters characterizing 1) the number of…

Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a robust framework for modeling interacting many-body systems, including the equation of state (EoS) of dense matter. Many models, however, rely on energy functionals based on assumptions that have not…

We present an effective field theory (EFT) approach to extract fundamental cosmological parameters from the Lyman-alpha forest flux fluctuations as an alternative to the standard simulation-based techniques. As a first application, we…

In this whitepaper, I describe modern applications of effective field theory (EFT) techniques to classical and quantum gravity, with relevance to problems in astrophysics and cosmology. As in applications of EFT to high-energy, nuclear, or…

Schwinger Keldysh field theory is a widely used paradigm to study non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems starting from a thermal state. We extend this formalism to describe non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum systems starting…

Effective Field Theory (EFT) provides a powerful framework that exploits a separation of scales in physical systems to perform systematically improvable, model-independent calculations. Particularly interesting are few-body systems with…

Density-potential functional theory (DPFT) is an alternative formulation of orbital-free density functional theory that may be suitable for modeling the electronic structure of large systems. To date, DPFT has been applied mainly to quantum…

We derive an exact representation of the exchange-correlation energy within density functional theory (DFT) which spawns a class of approximations leading to correct long-range asymptotic behavior. In what amounts to be the simplest…

Strong electronic correlations pose one of the biggest challenges to solid state theory. We review recently developed methods that address this problem by starting with the local, eminently important correlations of dynamical mean field…

The strong interaction, i.e., quantum chromodynamics at the low energy nuclear regime, is notoriously known to be challenging for predictive modeling. Here, we use the simplest possible nuclear effective field theory (EFT), and show that in…

We discuss effective field theories (EFTs) for the Higgs particle, which is not necessarily the Higgs of the Standard Model. We distinguish two different consistent expansions: EFTs that describe decoupling new-physics effects and EFTs that…

We introduce an efficient finite-element approach for large-scale real-space pseudopotential density functional theory (DFT) calculations incorporating noncollinear magnetism and spin-orbit coupling. The approach, implemented within the…

Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT) has recently been extended to describe many-body open quantum systems (OQS) evolving under non-unitary dynamics according to a quantum master equation. In the master equation approach,…

A cardinal obstacle to understanding and predicting quantitatively the properties of solids and large molecules is that, for these systems, it is very challenging to describe beyond the mean-field level the quantum-mechanical interactions…

We implement the effective field theory (EFT) approach to dark energy and modified gravity in the public Einstein-Boltzmann solver CAMB. The resulting code, which we dub EFTCAMB, is a powerful and versatile tool that can be used for several…

We apply the Schrodinger functional method to the Abelian gauge theory in three dimensions with Nf=2 four-component fermions. We find that the calculated beta function does not cross zero in the range of coupling we study. This implies that…

We present a novel way in which effective field theory (EFT) can break down in cosmological string backgrounds depending on the behavior of the quantum gravity cutoff in infinite distance limits, known as the species scale $\Lambda_s$.…

The 1D flux power spectrum ($P_{\mathrm{1D}}$) of the Ly$\alpha$ forest provides an exceptionally high-resolution probe of structure formation down to small scales ($k\approx1-10~\text{$h~$Mpc$^{-1}$}$). These scales carry the imprints of…

We develop interactions from chiral effective field theory (EFT) that are tailored to the harmonic oscillator basis. As a consequence, ultraviolet convergence with respect to the model space is implemented by construction and infrared…
