As Scales Become Separated: Lectures on Effective Field Theory
by Timothy Cohen
Publisher: arXiv.org 2019
Number of pages: 183
Description:
These lectures aim to provide a pedagogical introduction to the philosophical underpinnings and technical features of Effective Field Theory (EFT). Improving control of S-matrix elements in the presence of a large hierarchy of physical scales is emphasized.

Yang Mills model of interacting particles in the classical field theoryby Jean Claude Dutailly - arXiv
The purpose is to study interacting particles in the General Relativity context, by the principle of least action using purely classical concepts. The particles are described by a state tensor using a Clifford algebra for the kinematic part.
