Intro to Effective Field Theories and Inflation
C. P. Burgess
These notes present an introduction to CDM cosmology and its possible inflationary precursor, with an emphasis on some of the ways effective field theories are used in its analy…

Point-Particle Effective Field Theory III: Relativistic Fermions and the Dirac Equation
C. P. Burgess, Peter Hayman, Markus Rummel +1
We formulate point-particle effective field theory (PPEFT) for relativistic spin-half fermions interacting with a massive, charged finite-sized source using a first-quantized effec…

Point-Particle Effective Field Theory I: Classical Renormalization and the Inverse-Square Potential
C. P. Burgess, Peter Hayman, Matt Williams +1
Singular potentials (the inverse-square potential, for example) arise in many situations and their quantum treatment leads to well-known ambiguities in choosing boundary conditions…
