Symmetries and Effective Vertices, starting the calculation process the problem should be reduced to its minimal form. Here we will present an example of how to reduce the number of calculated diagrams for a given process (which in this case will be a Higgs-like scalar decay to two photons through a charged scalar loop) using gauge

Effective Field Theory,s well as the renormalization group equations for the Wilson coefficients. Afterwards we shall focus on one illustrative example and present the . procedure at the one-loop level. The infrared behaviour of EFTs is also covered with this example.

QED Renormalization,ons (.) in order to regularise the UV divergences (as it is nicely explained in the previous chapter). Afterwards we shall take an explicit one-loop example and introduce the two usual renormalization schemes, the . and the on-shell scheme. A few clarifying notions on tadpoles are also given at the end of the chapter.

Vectors, Tensors, Manifolds and Special Relativity,o further effort. The transition between tensor algebra and tensor calculus is done naturally with a very familiar example. The notion of manifold and a few basic key aspects on Special Relativity are also presented.

Dirac Algebra,late lengthy and more complicated traces involving Dirac matrices. The transformation of spinors under Lorentz transformations is also presented consistently together with the bilinear covariants. Finally a short comparison between QED and QCD is given for a simple process.
