Effective gauge theories
Open accessAbstract
A method is described for dealing with gauge field theories that contain very heavy particles, by constructing a gauge-invariant effective field theory, in which the heavy particles do not appear. For theories in which a simple group is spontaneously broken to the strong and electroweak gauge groups, the running strong and electroweak effective couplings become equal to the original gauge coupling at different renormalization scales, given as weighted geometric averages of the super-heavy particle masses. The method is also applied to quantum chromodynamics with heavy quarks.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
