A confluence of theoretical and technological developments are beginning to make possible contributions to nuclear physics from lattice QCD. Effective field theory plays a critical role in these advances. I give several examples.
I give a survey of recent progress in our understanding of QCD at high density and temperature. I pay particular attention to color superconductivity, applications of lattice gauge theory at nonzero density as well as high temperature,…
We use three dimensional reduced effective field theory (EQCD) and lattice calculations to determine the quark number susceptibility of QCD at high temperature. We find our results to agree well with known perturbative expansion as well as…
The stationary state solutions of the Ising-type thin films with different layers in the presence of an external oscillatory field have been examined within the effective field theory. The exhibition focuses on understanding of the external…
We show that the effective field theory of low energy modes in dense QCD has positive Euclidean path integral measure. The complexity of the measure of QCD at finite chemical potential can be ascribed to modes which are irrelevant to the…
We present a simple introduction to the techniques of effective field theory (EFT) and their application to QCD. For problems with more than one energy scale, the EFT approach is a useful alternative to more traditional model-building…
Effective field theories exploit a separation of scales in physical systems in order to perform systematically improvable, model-independent calculations. They are ideally suited to describe universal aspects of a wide range of physical…
The effective field theory relevant for the analysis of QCD at low energies is reviewed. The foundations of the method are discussed in some detail and a few illustrative examples are described.
I discuss some non-perturbative aspects of hot gauge theories as related to the unscreened static magnetic interactions. I first review some of the infrared divergences which cause the breakdown of the perturbation theory. Then I show that…
Effective-field-theory methods are used to separate the free energy for a nonabelian gauge theory at high temperature $T$ into the contributions from the momentum scales $T$, $gT$, and $g^2T$, where $g$ is the coupling constant at the scale…
Symmetry restoration in a theory of a self-interacting charged scalar field at finite temperature and in the presence of an external magnetic field is examined. The effective potential is evaluated nonperturbatively in the context of the…
I present introductory lectures on the use of effective field theory methods in QCD at low energies.
We study a three dimensional Z(3)-symmetric effective theory of high temperature QCD. The exact lattice-continuum relations, needed in order to perform lattice simulations with physical parameters, are computed to order O(a^0) in lattice…
These days, as high energy particle colliders become unavailable for testing speculative theoretical ideas, physicists are looking to other environments that may provide extreme conditions where theory confronts physical reality. One such…
In these 4 lectures, I give a brief introduction to the principles of effective field theory and discuss their application via 3 examples: (i) the Standard Model as an effective theory; (ii) non-linear sigma models and the composite Higgs;…
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…
In these notes we review some properties of Statistical Quantum Field Theory at equilibrium, i.e Quantum Field Theory at finite temperature. We explain the relation between finite temperature quantum field theory in (d,1) dimensions and…
Effective field theory provides a perturbative framework to study the evolution of cosmological large-scale structure. We investigate the underpinnings of this approach, and suggest new ways to compute correlation functions of cosmological…
In this thesis I study applications of effective field theories to understand aspects of QCD jets and their substructure at the Large Hadron Collider. In particular, I introduce an observable, $D_2$, which can be used for distinguishing…
Transport theory is an efficient approach to derive an effective theory for the soft modes of QCD at high temperature. It is known that the leading order operators of this theory can be obtained from (semi-classical) kinetic equations of…
