The invariance of physical observables under redefinitions of the quantum fields is a well-known and important property of quantum field theory. We study perturbative field redefinitions in effective theories, paying special attention to higher-order effects and their impact on matching to an ultraviolet theory at the classical and quantum levels.

  1. geoSCET: Soft Theorems from Power Counting

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    geoSCET derives geometric soft theorems for scalar field theories directly from effective-field-theory power counting and proves they are exact to all orders in perturbation theory when no potential is present.

  2. On the Renormalization Group in EFTs: On-Shell Bases, Ambiguities, and Divergences

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Two-loop RG divergences in on-shell EFT bases are spurious: they vanish when non-minimal source terms are included, leaving only unphysical flavor-rotation flow.

  3. Kaluza-Klein tower thresholds and scheme dependence of the species scale

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    Leading KK-tower local corrections to four-derivative gravity are regulator-dependent EFT matching data, while log N terms are universal within proper-time cutoffs, so species-scale definitions match only parametrically.

  4. Phenomenology of a Kinetic Higgs Portal

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A momentum-dependent Higgs portal can hide invisible decays, make four-top production the most sensitive probe, and open a dark-matter region immune to direct detection.

  5. Non-injective field redefinitions and quantum inequivalence in scalar theories

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Pulling a free massive multiplet through a non-injective polynomial field redefinition with unit Jacobian yields a theory that is exactly free on every local sheet but globally not unitarily equivalent to a free theory.

  6. Automation of a Matching On-Shell Calculator

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A new Mathematica package, mosca, automates tree-level on-shell matching to transform between operator bases and reduce Green's bases to physical bases in EFTs.
