Two- and three-loop anomalous dimensions of Weinberg's dimension-six CP-odd gluonic operator
2019
We apply, for the first time, a fully automated extension of the $R^*$-operation capable of calculating higher-loop anomalous dimensions of n-point Green's functions of arbitrary, possibly non-renormalisable, local Quantum Field Theories. We focus on the specific case of the CP-violating Weinberg operator of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory whose anomalous dimension is so far known only at one loop. To avoid mixing with gauge-variant operators we employ the background field method. Based on both the 't Hooft-Veltman scheme and the Larin scheme we develop two different strategies to consistently handle the Levi-Civita symbol in the $R^*$-operation. With this setup, we calculate the two- and three-loop Weinberg anomalous dimension in Yang-Mills theory. We find sizeable two-loop corrections and large three-loop corrections, because of the appearance of a new quartic group invariant. We discuss phenomenological implications for measurements of the electric dipole moments of nucleons and future applications of the method.
