Domain walls in gauge theory with non-Abelian flavor symmetry possess normalizable Nambu-Goldstone zero modes associated with spontaneously broken non-Abelian flavor symmetry. We construct the moduli space metric as the effective field theory of walls. The Nambu-Goldstone modes spread between two domain walls and their rotation induces long-range repulsive force. We also construct a bound state of domain walls. This article is based on the work with M. Eto, M. Nitta, K. Ohashi and N. Sakai1.

Investigations of three-body nuclear systems using pionless effective field theory ([Formula: see text]) are reviewed. The history of [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] scattering is briefly discussed and emphasis put on the use of strict perturbative techniques. In addition renormalization issues appearing in [Formula: see text] scattering are also presented. Bound state calculations are addressed and new perturbative techniques for describing them are highlighted. Three-body breakup observables in [Formula: see text] scattering are also considered and the utility of [Formula: see text] for addressing them.

The light double [Formula: see text] hypernuclei, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], are studied as three-body [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] cluster systems in halo/cluster effective field theory at leading order. We find that the [Formula: see text] system in spin-0 channel does not exhibit a limit cycle whereas the [Formula: see text] system in spin-1 channel and the [Formula: see text] system in spin-0 channel do. The limit cycle is associated with the formation of bound states, known as Efimov states, in the unitary limit. For the [Formula: see text] system in the spin-0 channel we estimate the scattering length [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]-wave [Formula: see text] hyperon–hypertriton scattering as [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]fm. We also discuss that studying the cutoff dependences in the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] systems, the bound state of [Formula: see text] is not an Efimov state but formed due to a high energy mechanism whereas that of [Formula: see text] may be regarded as an Efimov state.

AbstractWe study the minimal flavor violation in the context of string effective field theory. Stringy selection rules indicate that n-point couplings among fermionic zero-modes and lightest scalar modes in the string effective action are given by a product of Yukawa couplings which are regarded as spurion fields of stringy and geometrical symmetries. Hence, Yukawa couplings determine the dynamics of flavor and CP violations. This observation strongly supports the hypothesis of minimal flavor violation in the Standard Model effective field theory.

We develop a systematic effective field theory of hydrodynamics for many-body systems on the lattice with global continuous non-Abelian symmetries. Models with continuous non-Abelian symmetries are ubiquitous in physics, arising in diverse settings ranging from hot nuclear matter to cold atomic gases and quantum spin chains. In every dimension and for every flavor symmetry group, the low energy theory is a set of coupled noisy diffusion equations. Independence of the physics on the choice of canonical or microcanonical ensemble is manifest in our hydrodynamic expansion, even though the ensemble choice causes an apparent shift in quasinormal mode spectra. We use our formalism to explain why flavor symmetry is qualitatively different from hydrodynamics with other non-Abelian conservation laws, including angular momentum and charge multipoles.As a significant application of our framework, we study spin and energy diffusion in classical one-dimensional SU(2)-invariant spin chains, including the Heisenberg model along with multiple generalizations. We argue based on both numerical simulations and our effective field theory framework that non-integrable spin chains on a lattice exhibit conventional spin diffusion, in contrast to some recent predictions that diffusion constants grow logarithmically at late times. We show that the apparent enhancement of diffusion is due to slow equilibration caused by (non-Abelian) hydrodynamic fluctuations.


Effective field theory (EFT) is a general method for describing quantum systems with multiple-length scales in a tractable fashion. It allows us to perform precise calculations in established models (such as the standard models of particle physics and cosmology), as well as to concisely parametrize possible effects from physics beyond the standard models. EFTs have become key tools in the theoretical analysis of particle physics experiments and cosmological observations, despite being absent from many textbooks. This volume aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to many of the EFTs in use today, and covers topics that include large-scale structure, WIMPs, dark matter, heavy quark effective theory, flavour physics, soft-collinear effective theory, and more.

Abstract We conjecture a simple set of “Feynman rules” for constructing n-point global conformal blocks in any channel in d spacetime dimensions, for external and exchanged scalar operators for arbitrary n and d. The vertex factors are given in terms of Lauricella hypergeometric functions of one, two or three variables, and the Feynman rules furnish an explicit power-series expansion in powers of cross-ratios. These rules are conjectured based on previously known results in the literature, which include four-, five- and six-point examples as well as the n-point comb channel blocks. We prove these rules for all previously known cases, as well as two new ones: the seven-point block in a new topology, and all even-point blocks in the “OPE channel.” The proof relies on holographic methods, notably the Feynman rules for Mellin amplitudes of tree-level AdS diagrams in a scalar effective field theory, and is easily applicable to any particular choice of a conformal block beyond those considered in this paper.
