In this document, we briefly introduce the effective field theories. We propose some novel ideas in this manuscript. We introduce a novel formalism of the effective field theories and we apply it to the effective field theories of large scale structures. The new formalism is based on functionals of the actions composing those theories. We discuss our findings in a Cosmological Gravitology framework. We present with a cosmological inference approach these results and we give a guideline of how we can disentangle the best candidate between those models with some latest understanding of model selection.

I describe some of the many connections between lattice QCD and effective field theories, focusing in particular on chiral effective theory, and, to a lesser extent, Symanzik effective theory. I first discuss the ways in which effective theories have enabled and supported lattice QCD calculations. Particular attention is paid to the inclusion of discretization errors, for a variety of lattice QCD actions, into chiral effective theory. Several other examples of the usefulness of chiral perturbation theory, including the encoding of partial quenching and of twisted boundary conditions, are also described. In the second part of the talk, I turn to results from lattice QCD for the low energy constants of the two- and three-flavor chiral theories. I concentrate here on mesonic quantities, but the dependence of the nucleon mass on the pion mass is also discussed. Finally I describe some recent preliminary lattice QCD calculations by the MILC Collaboration relating to the three-flavor chiral limit.
The invariance of physical observables under redefinitions of the quantum fields is a well-known and important property of quantum field theory. We study perturbative field redefinitions in effective theories, paying special attention to higher-order effects and their impact on matching to an ultraviolet theory at the classical and quantum levels.
Effective field theories have often been applied to systems with deeply inelastic reactions that produce particles with large momenta outside the domain of validity of the effective theory. The effects of the deeply inelastic reactions have been take n into account in previous work by adding local anti-Hermitian terms to the effective Hamiltonian. Here we show that when multi-particle systems are considered, an additional modification is required in equations governing the density matrix. We define an effective density matrix by tracing over the states containing high-momentum particles, and show that it satisfies a Lindblad equation, with local Lindblad operators determined by the anti-Hermitian terms in the effective Hamiltonian density.
The loss of particles due to highly inelastic reactions has previously been taken into account in effective field theories for low-energy particles by adding local anti-Hermitian terms to the effective Hamiltonian. An additional modification is requi red in the time evolution equation for the density matrix of a multi-particle system. An effective density matrix can be defined by tracing over states containing high-momentum particles produced by the highly inelastic reactions and by a time average that eliminates short-time correlations. The effective density matrix satisfies the Lindblad equation, with local Lindblad operators that are determined by the anti-Hermitian terms in the effective Hamiltonian.
Van der Waals interactions between two neutral but polarizable systems at a separation $R$ much larger than the typical size of the systems are at the core of a broad sweep of contemporary problems in settings ranging from atomic, molecular and conde nsed matter physics to strong interactions and gravity. We reexamine the dispersive van der Waals interactions between two hydrogen atoms. The novelty of the analysis resides in the usage of nonrelativistic EFTs of QED. In this framework, the van der Waals potential acquires the meaning of a matching coefficient in an EFT suited to describe the low energy dynamics of an atom pair. It may be computed systematically as a series in $R$ times some typical atomic scale and in the fine structure constant $alpha$. The van der Waals potential gets short range contributions and radiative corrections, which we compute in dimensional regularization and renormalize here for the first time. Results are given in $d$ spacetime dimensions. One can distinguish among different regimes depending on the relative size between $1/R$ and the typical atomic bound state energy $malpha^2$. Each regime is characterized by a specific hierarchy of scales and a corresponding tower of EFTs. The short distance regime is characterized by $1/R gg malpha^2$ and the LO van der Waals potential is the London potential. We compute also NNNLO corrections. In the long distance regime we have $1/Rll malpha^2$. In this regime, the van der Waals potential contains contact terms, which are parametrically larger than the Casimir-Polder potential that describes the potential at large distances. In the EFT the Casimir-Polder potential counts as a NNNLO effect. In the intermediate distance regime, $1/Rsim malpha^2$, a significantly more complex potential is obtained which we compare with the two previous limiting cases. We conclude commenting on the hadronic van der Waals case.
