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.

Universality of merons in non-Abelian gauge theories

hep-th · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

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.

Quintessential $\alpha$-attractors fit DESI

hep-th · 2026-06-01 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

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.

Effective Field Theories for Material Media

hep-th · 2026-07-07 · accept · novelty 4.0

Spacetime-symmetry-breaking Goldstone EFTs systematically describe bulk and localized excitations of solids, fluids, and superfluids, with new thermodynamic identifications and corrected scattering rates.

Smooth Threshold Effects from Dimensional Regularization

hep-th · 2026-04-26 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

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.
