Title: Conformal structure of the heavy particle EFT operator basis

Abstract

An operator basis of an effective theory with a heavy particle, subject to external gauge fields, is spanned by a particular kind of neutral scalar primary of the non-relativistic conformal group. We calculate the characters that can be used for generating the operators in a non-relativistic effective field theory, which accounts for redundancies from the equations of motion and integration by parts.

Operator bases, S-matrices, and their partition functions

Journal Article Henning, Brian ; Lu, Xiaochuan ; Melia, Tom ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Relativistic quantum systems that admit scattering experiments are quantitatively described by effective field theories, where S-matrix kinematics and symmetry considerations are encoded in the operator spectrum of the EFT. Here in this paper we use the S-matrix to derive the structure of the EFT operator basis, providing complementary descriptions in (i) position space utilizing the conformal algebra and cohomology and (ii) momentum space via an algebraic formulation in terms of a ring of momenta with kinematics implemented as an ideal. These frameworks systematically handle redundancies associated with equations of motion (on-shell) and integration by parts (momentum conservation). We introduce amore »« less

DEFT: a program for operators in EFT

Journal Article Gripaios, Ben ; Sutherland, Dave - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We describe a Python-based computer program, DEFT, for manipulating operators in effective field theories (EFTs). In its current incarnation, DEFT can be applied to 4-dimensional, Poincaré invariant theories with gauge group SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1), such as the Standard Model (SM), but a variety of extensions (e.g. to lower dimensions or to an arbitrary product of unitary gauge groups) are conceptually straightforward. Amongst other features, the program is able to: (i) check whether an input list of Lagrangian operators (of a given dimension in the EFT expansion) is a basis for the space of operators contributing to S-matrix elements, once redundancies (such asmore »« less

On the quantum mechanics of relativistic particles with derived Hilbert-space (in German)

Journal Article Bopp, Fritz - European Physical Journal. A

The quantum theory of relativistic particles was developed in close analogy with that of nonrelativistic ones. It is shown that the Hilbent-space for the states of a physical system can be derived immediately from experience. It happened that both theories, the relativistic as well as the nonrelativistic one belong to the same Hilbert space. Lorentz invariance does not enter until the transformations induced in the Hilbent space by the motion of the particles are considered. The transformations form a representation of the inhomogeneous Lorentz-group or even of the Klein-group of conformal transformations in space- time. The Hilbert-space was also developedmore »« less

Reparameterization invariant operator basis for NRQED and HQET

Journal Article Kobach, Andrew Christopher ; Pal, Sridip - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We provide a self-contained discussion of how reparameterization invariance connects a rotationally-invariant heavy particle effective theory with a single heavy fermion to a Lorentz-invariant theory. Furthermore, using Hilbert-series methods, a Lorentz- invariant operator basis is tabulated, up to and including operators of order $1/M^4$, when the fermion couples to an external U(1) or SU(3) gauge interaction.

A study on relativistic lagrangian field theories with non-topological soliton solutions

Journal Article Diaz-Alonso, J ; Departamento de Fisica, Universidad de Oviedo, Avda. Calvo Sotelo 18, E-33007 Oviedo, Asturias ; Rubiera-Garcia, D - Annals of Physics (New York)

We perform a general analysis of the dynamic structure of two classes of relativistic lagrangian field theories exhibiting static spherically symmetric non-topological soliton solutions. The analysis is concerned with (multi-) scalar fields and generalized gauge fields of compact semi-simple Lie groups. The lagrangian densities governing the dynamics of the (multi-) scalar fields are assumed to be general functions of the kinetic terms, whereas the gauge-invariant lagrangians are general functions of the field invariants. These functions are constrained by requirements of regularity, positivity of the energy and vanishing of the vacuum energy, defining what we call 'admissible' models. In the scalarmore »« less
