The QCD axion addresses the strong CP problem and dark matter via the misalignment mechanism, typically requiring a decay constant $f_a\sim \mathcal{O}(10^{12}$ GeV), unless the initial misalignment angle ($\theta_i$) is fine-tuned. This…

We provide upper and lower bounds on the semileptonic weak decay form factors for $B \to D^(*)$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ decays by utilizing inclusive heavy quark effective theory sum rules. These bounds are calculated to second order…

The decay rate of neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay contains terms from heavy particle exchange, which lead to dimension-9 (d=9) six fermion operators at low energies. Limits on the coefficients of these operators have been…

In this paper we study the decay estimates of the fourth order Schr\"{o}dinger operator $H=\Delta^{2}+V(x)$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ with a bounded decaying potential $V(x)$. We first deduce the asymptotic expansions of resolvent of $H$ near the…

In this letter, we discuss certain universal predictions of the large charge expansion in conformal field theories with $U(1)$ symmetry, mainly focusing on four-dimensional theories. We show that, while in three dimensions quantum…

The anomalous dimension matrix of dimensionally regularized four-quark operators is known to be affected by evanescent operators, which vanish in $D=4$ dimensions. Their definition, however, is not unique, as one can always redefine them by…

Baryon number is an accidental symmetry of the Standard Model at the Lagrangian level. Its violation is arguably one of the most compelling phenomena predicted by physics beyond the Standard Model. Furthermore, there is a large experimental…

We accomplish the analytical computation of the pure weak annihilation non-leptonic $B$-meson decay amplitudes at leading power in the heavy quark expansion. The novel observation regarding such fundamental hadronic quantities is that…

Dimension-five operators for nucleon decays are suppressed in the modified missing doublet (MMD) model in the supersymmetric SU(5) grand unification. We show that nonrenormalizable interactions decrease the unification scale in the MMD…

We explore the nature of higher dimensional operators generated by quantum gravity. Calculating the tree-level and one-loop effective operators generated by graviton exchange between fields of the standard model and those of a hidden…

Meson-antimeson mixing provides the most stringent constraints on baryon- and lepton-number conserving New Physics, probing scales higher than $10^5$ TeV. In the context of the effective theory of weak interactions, these constraints…

Weak values have been shown to be helpful especially when considering them as the outcomes of weak measurements. In this paper we show that in principle, the real and imaginary parts of the weak value of any operator may be elucidated from…

We study the behaviour of sequences $U_2^n X U_1^{-n}$, where $U_1, U_2$ are unitary operators, whose spectral measures are singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure, and the commutator $XU_1-U_2X$ is small in a sense. The conjecture…

Power-like loop corrections to gauge couplings are a generic feature of higher-dimensional field theories. In supersymmetric grand unified theories in d=5 dimensions, such corrections arise only in the presence of a vacuum expectation value…

The contributions of subleading shape functions to inclusive decay distributions of B mesons are derived from a systematic two-step matching of QCD current correlators onto soft-collinear and heavy-quark effective theory. At tree-level, the…

We discuss the divergence problems recently identified in some extrapolation operators for weakly-relational numeric domains. We identify the cause of the divergences and point out that resorting to more concrete, syntactic domains can be…

The precise measurement of the width difference \Delta\Gamma_s among the mass eigenstates of the B_s-\bar{B}_s system requires the calculation of the corresponding decay matrix to order \alpha_s/m_b. QCD corrections to power-suppressed…

We consider effective operators describing Dark Matter (DM) interactions with Standard Model fermions. In the non-relativistic limit of the DM field, the operators can be organized according to their mass dimension and their velocity…

We present a new framework for the extraction of the strong coupling from hadronic \tau decays through finite-energy sum rules. Our focus is on the small, but still significant non-perturbative effects that, in principle, affect both the…

In this paper, we obtain the subadditivity inequality of strongly operator convex functions on $(0, \infty)$ and $(-\infty,0)$. Applying the properties of operator convex functions, we deduce the subadditivity property of operator monotone…
