Effective Field Theory
Attempts to apply effective field theory (EFT) methods to nonrelativistic nucleon-nucleon (N N) scattering have raised questions about the nature and limitations of an EFT expansion when used nonperturbatively. We discuss the characteristics of a meaningful EFT analysis and compare them with traditional approaches to N N scattering. A key feature of an EFT treatment is a systematic expansion in...

متن کاملA Leading Log Approximation for Inflationary Quantum Field Theory
During inflation explicit perturbative computations of quantum field theories which contain massless, nonconformal fields exhibit secular effects that grow as powers of the logarithm of the inflationary scale factor. Starobinskĭı’s technique of stochastic inflation not only reproduces the leading infrared logarithms at each order in perturbation theory, it can sometimes be summed to reveal what...
متن کاملClassification of inflationary Einstein-scalar-field models via catastrophe theory.
Various scenarios of the initial inflation of the universe are distinguished by the choice of a scalar field potential U(φ) which simulates a temporarily non–vanishing cosmological term. Our new method, which involves a reparametrization in terms of the Hubble expansion parameter H, provides a classification of allowed inflationary potentials and of the stability of the critical points. It is b...
