Low-energy effective theories have become a powerful tool in nuclear physics and elsewhere the past several decades. This paper describes large amount of experimental data this framework as ``pairing rotational bands'' with just few parameters. The pairing tensor is akin to moment inertia gauge space two interacting superfluids. Its eigenvectors rotate respect ($N$,$Z$) coordinate system, they ...

The methods of effective field theory are used to study generic theories of inflation with a single inflaton field. For scalar modes, the leading corrections to the R correlation function are found to be purely of the k-inflation type. For tensor modes the leading corrections to the correlation function arise from terms in the action that are quadratic in the curvature, including a parity-viola...

We point out a redundancy in the operator structure of the pionless effective field theory, EFT(π/), which dramatically simplifies computations. This redundancy is best exploited by using dibaryon fields as fundamental degrees of freedom. In turn, this suggests a new power counting scheme which sums range corrections to all orders. We explore this method with a few simple observables: the deute...
