Renormalizing two-fermion operators in the SMEFT via supergeometry
摘要
We extend the geometric framework of field-space covariance for loop computations, thereby unifying the treatment of scalars, fermions, and gauge bosons in effective field theories. This allows us to derive a manifestly covariant formula for one-loop UV divergences that includes contributions from mixed boson-fermion graphs. The result is expressed in terms of geometric invariants of the field-space supermanifold. As a demonstration of this formula, we compute the renormalization group equations for two-fermion operators at the dimension-eight level in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory.
