Field redefinitions are commonly used to reduce the number of operators in the Lagrangian by removing redundant operators and transforming to a minimal operator basis. We give a general argument that such field redefinitions, while leaving the $S$-matrix invariant and consequently finite, lead not only to infinite Green's functions, but also to infinite field anomalous dimensions $\gamma_\phi$. These divergences cannot be removed by counterterms without reintroducing redundant operators.

  1. One-loop matching of the LEFT to the QCD gradient flow

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0

    All one-loop matching coefficients connecting the full baryon- and lepton-number-conserving low-energy effective field theory up to dimension six to the QCD gradient flow are computed.

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

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0

    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.
