abstract
This review summarizes Effective Field Theory techniques, which are the modern theoretical tools for exploiting the existence of hierarchies of scale in a physical problem. The general theoretical framework is described, and explicitly evaluated for a simple model. Power-counting results are illustrated for a few cases of practical interest, and several applications to Quantum Electrodynamics are described.

Exact non-singular black holes from the phantom DBI field evaporate to gram-mass relics, opening a new mass window for primordial black holes as dark matter.
Reheating is formulated as a regularized variational problem in equation-of-state space whose extremal histories are selected by different cosmological observables.
Resummed relative entropy bounds the sign of asymptotic growth of EFT coefficients and detects nonperturbative instabilities such as the Schwinger effect via analytic continuation in fermionic QED.
Scalarization in EMSGB gravity enables free-energy crossings between scalarized and Reissner-Nordström black holes, producing up to three phase transitions whose order changes with coupling strength.
Merons are universal in many non-Abelian gauge theories and source regular black holes and Euclidean wormholes via a non-Abelian Ayón-Beato-García generalization.
α-attractor quintessence models approximate axion-like potentials and fit DESI dynamical dark energy data, preferring α of order 1 via a simple fa-α relation.
Spacetime-symmetry-breaking Goldstone EFTs systematically describe bulk and localized excitations of solids, fluids, and superfluids, with new thermodynamic identifications and corrected scattering rates.
A mass-dependent renormalization scheme from dimensional regularization yields smooth threshold transitions in QCD and implements the Appelquist-Carazzone theorem by reducing to minimal subtraction at high energies.
A review summarizing modified theories of gravity, their effects on compact objects, existing bounds from astrophysical observations, and the promise of future gravitational wave tests for strong-field gravity.
