Dimer Effective Field Theory

Cullen Gantenberg, David B. Kaplan

While chiral perturbation theory for mesons is characterized by a momentum expansion in with GeV, existing formulations of effective theory for nucleon-nucleon…

Generalized Hall currents in topological insulators and superconductors

David B. Kaplan, Srimoyee Sen

We generalize the idea of the quantized Hall current to count gapless edge states in topological materials, applying equally well to theories in different dimensions, with or witho…

Index theorems, generalized Hall currents and topology for gapless defect fermions

David B. Kaplan, Srimoyee Sen

We show how the index of the fermion operator from the Euclidean action can be used to uncover the existence of gapless modes living on defects (such as edges and vortices) in topo…

Gravitational contributions to the electron -factor

Andrew G. Cohen, David B. Kaplan

In a previous paper, the authors with Ann Nelson proposed that the UV and IR applicability of effective quantum field theories should be constrained by requiring that strong gravit…

Fractional quantum Hall effect in a relativistic field theory

David B. Kaplan, Srimoyee Sen

We construct a class of 2+1 dimensional relativistic quantum field theories which exhibit the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in the infrared, both in the continuum and on the latti…

On the convergence of nuclear effective field theory with perturbative pions

David B. Kaplan

The classic paper by Fleming, Mehen and Stewart cast doubts on the convergence of spin-triplet nucleon-nucleon partial wave scattering amplitudes when following the proposal of Kap…
