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.

  1. Bounds on nonlinear electrodynamics via resummed relative entropy

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-negativity of resummed relative entropy in background EM fields imposes sign constraints on EFT operators and signals physical instabilities such as the Schwinger effect.

  2. Exact, non-singular black holes from a phantom DBI Field as primordial dark matter

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Precision Unitarity Calculations in Inflationary Models

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Full S-matrix unitarity calculations show the cut-off in single-field nonminimal inflation rises to about 20 M_Pl/ξ for small couplings, while multifield kinetic interactions keep the cut-off near M_Pl/ξ.

  4. Reheating as a variational probe of cosmological observables

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Reheating is formulated as a regularized variational problem in equation-of-state space whose extremal histories are selected by different cosmological observables.

  5. Bounds on nonlinear effective field theories via resurgent relative entropy

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Resummed relative entropy fixes the sign of asymptotic growth of EFT coefficients and signals instabilities, with the Schwinger effect in fermionic QED as a concrete example obtained via Euclidean-to-Minkowski analyti...

  6. Custodial Naturalness

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Custodial Naturalness uses classical scale invariance plus a custodial SO(6) symmetry to make the Higgs a naturally light pseudo-Goldstone boson, with testable new particle predictions.

  7. Quintessential $\alpha$-attractors fit DESI

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  8. Effective Field Theories for Material Media

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

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

  9. In-In EFT

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    An EFT for in-in correlators is defined by matching the full theory's real-time correlators, leading to operators with boundary terms and odd time derivatives.
