Abstract In this paper we derive for the first time the N3LO gravitational spin-orbit coupling at order G4 in the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation within the effective field theory (EFT) of gravitating spinning objects. This represents the first computation in a spinning sector involving three-loop integration. We provide a comprehensive account of the topologies in the worldline picture for the computation at order G4. Our computation makes use of the publicly-available EFTofPNG code, which is extended using loop-integration techniques from particle amplitudes. We provide the results for each of the Feynman diagrams in this sector. The three-loop graphs in the worldline picture give rise to new features in the spinning sector, including divergent terms and logarithms from dimensional regularization, as well as transcendental numbers, all of which survive in the final result of the topologies at this order. This result enters at the 4.5PN order for maximally-rotating compact objects, and together with previous work in this line, paves the way for the completion of this PN accuracy.

Abstract We compute the lowest operator dimension ∆(J; D) at large global charge J in the O(2) Wilson-Fisher model in D = 4 − ϵ dimensions, to leading order in both 1/J and ϵ. While the effective field theory approach of [1] could only determine ∆(J; 3) as a series expansion in 1/J up to an undetermined constant in front of each term, this time we try to determine the coefficient in front of J3/2 in the ϵ-expansion. The final result for ∆(J; D) in the (resummed) ϵ-expansion, valid when J ≫ 1/ϵ ≫ 1, turns out to be$$ \Delta \left(J;D\right)=\left[\frac{2\left(D-1\right)}{3\left(D-2\right)}{\left(\frac{9\left(D-2\right)\pi }{5D}\right)}^{\frac{D}{2\left(D-1\right)}}{\left[\frac{5\Gamma \left(\frac{D}{2}\right)}{24{\pi}^2}\right]}^{\frac{1}{D-1}}{\epsilon}^{\frac{D-1}{2\left(D-1\right)}}\right]\times {J}^{\frac{D}{D-1}}+O\left({J}^{\frac{D-2}{D-1}}\right) $$ Δ J D = 2 D − 1 3 D − 2 9 D − 2 π 5 D D 2 D − 1 5 Γ D 2 24 π 2 1 D − 1 ϵ D − 1 2 D − 1 × J D D − 1 + O J D − 2 D − 1 where next-to-leading order onwards were not computed here due to technical cumbersomeness, despite there are no fundamental difficulties. We also compare the result at ϵ = 1,$$ \Delta (J)=0.293\times {J}^{3/2}+\cdots $$ Δ J = 0.293 × J 3 / 2 + ⋯ to the actual data from the Monte-Carlo simulation in three dimensions [2], and the discrepancy of the coefficient 0.293 from the numerics turned out to be 13%. Additionally, we also find a crossover of ∆(J; D) from ∆(J) ∝ $$ {J}^{\frac{D}{D-1}} $$ J D D − 1 to ∆(J) ∝ J, at around J ∼ 1/ϵ, as one decreases J while fixing ϵ (or vice versa), reflecting the fact that there are no interacting fixed-point at ϵ = 0. Based on this behaviour, we propose an interesting double-scaling limit which fixes λ ≡ Jϵ, suitable for probing the region of the crossover. I will give ∆(J; D) to next-to-leading order in perturbation theory, either in 1/λ or in λ, valid when λ ≫ 1 and λ ≪ 1, respectively.

Abstract Building upon the worldline effective field theory (EFT) formalism for spinning bodies developed for the Post-Newtonian regime, we generalize the EFT approach to Post-Minkowskian (PM) dynamics to include rotational degrees of freedom in a manifestly covariant framework. We introduce a systematic procedure to compute the total change in momentum and spin in the gravitational scattering of compact objects. For the special case of spins aligned with the orbital angular momentum, we show how to construct the radial action for elliptic-like orbits using the Boundary-to-Bound correspondence. As a paradigmatic example, we solve the scattering problem to next-to-leading PM order with linear and bilinear spin effects and arbitrary initial conditions, incorporating for the first time finite-size corrections. We obtain the aligned-spin radial action from the resulting scattering data, and derive the periastron advance and binding energy for circular orbits. We also provide the (square of the) center-of-mass momentum to $$ \mathcal{O}\left({G}^2\right) $$ O G 2 , which may be used to reconstruct a Hamiltonian. Our results are in perfect agreement with the existent literature, while at the same time extend the knowledge of the PM dynamics of compact binaries at quadratic order in spins.

Abstract Using non-relativistic effective field theory, we derive a three-particle analog of the Lellouch-Lüscher formula at the leading order. This formula relates the three-particle decay amplitudes in a finite volume with their infinite-volume counterparts and, hence, can be used to study the three-particle decays on the lattice. The generalization of the approach to higher orders is briefly discussed.

AbstractThe Higgs sector in neutral naturalness models provides a portal to the hidden sectors, and thus measurements of Higgs couplings at current and future colliders play a central role in constraining the parameter space of the model. We investigate a class of neutral naturalness models, in which the Higgs boson is a pseudo-Goldstone boson from the universal SO(N)/SO(N −1) coset structure. Integrating out the radial mode from the spontaneous global symmetry breaking, we obtain various dimension-six operators in the Standard Model effective field theory, and calculate the low energy Higgs effective potential with radiative corrections included. We perform aχ2fit to the Higgs coupling precision measurements at current and future colliders and show that the new physics scale could be explored up to 2.3 (2.4) TeV without (with) the Higgs invisible decay channels at future Higgs factories. The limits are comparable to the indirect constraints obtained via electroweak precision measurements.
