We have continued the development of Lagrangian, cosmological perturbation theory for the low-order correlators of the matter density field. We provide a new route to understanding how the effective field theory (EFT) of large-scale…

The low-energy structure of hadrons can be described systematically using effective field theory, and the parameters of the effective theory can be determined from lattice QCD computations. Recent work, however, points to inconsistencies…

From general supergravity theory with unified gauge symmetry, we obtain the low-energy effective Lagrangian by taking the flat limit and integrating out the superheavy fields in model-independent manner. The scalar potential possesses some…

This is a written version of the opening talk at the 6th International Workshop on Chiral Dynamics, at the University of Bern, Switzerland, July 6, 2009, to be published in the proceedings of the Workshop. In it, I reminisce about the early…

Different strategies for the computation of QCD low-energy couplings by matching lattice QCD with the chiral effective theory are reviewed. After recalling the main features of the chiral effective theory in the epsilon- and p- regimes, the…

After a brief introduction to chiral perturbation theory, the effective field theory of the standard model at low energies, two recent applications are reviewed: elastic pion-pion scattering to two-loop accuracy and the complete…

The LHC has confirmed the existence of a mass gap between the known particles and possible new states. Effective field theory is then the appropriate tool to search for low-energy signals of physics beyond the Standard Model. We adopt the…

We review recent advances in the understanding of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) transition and its nature, paying special attention to the analysis of chiral symmetry restoration within different approaches based on effective theories.…

The application of the effective field theory (EFT) method to nuclear systems is reviewed. The roles of degrees of freedom, QCD symmetries, power counting, renormalization, and potentials are discussed. EFTs are constructed for various…

We study the effective Lagrangian, at leading order in derivatives, that describes the propagation of density and metric fluctuations in a fluid composed by an arbitrary number of interacting components. Our results can be applied to any…

In this work, we extend and apply effective field theory techniques to systematically understand a subset of lattice artifacts which pollute the lattice correlation functions for a few processes of physical interest. Where possible, we…

An effective field theory describing the QCD diffraction scattering is constructed. The constituent quarks interacting with multiperi- pheral gluons and Goldstone bosons are described by impact- parameter two-dimensional sigma models for…

In this talk I review an effective field theory that has been developed for processes with energetic hadrons, referred to as the Soft-Collinear Effective Theory. After outlining properties of the effective theory I briefly discuss its…

After a brief historical review of the emergence of QCD as the quantum field theory of strong interactions, the basic notions of colour and gauge invariance are introduced leading to the QCD Lagrangian. The second lecture is devoted to…

We review some predictions of nonrelativistic effective field theories for heavy quark-antiquark systems with a small typical radius, r<1/\Lambda_QCD.

Low energy effective theories give access to regimes of the QCD phase diagram that to date are hard to simulate directly with lattice QCD or with functional approaches. For lattice QCD this includes the small temperature and/or large…

We describe long distance QCD by a dual theory in which the fundamental variables are dual potentials coupled to monopole fields and use this dual theory to determine the effective Lagrangian for constituent quarks. We find the color field…

The effective field theory approach allows a rigorous disentangling of high and low energy effects in the heavy quarkonium dynamics. Focusing in particular on the spectrum, we describe the nature of the non-perturbative effects and discuss…

Using only global symmetries of QCD, we set up an effective model of quarks at finite temperature near the cross over, including all possible terms up to dimension 6. We first treat this in mean field theory. Then we investigate low-energy…

This is a continuation of the lectures [1,2]. In this part we discuss interaction of electrons with soft photons in QED and Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET).
