Renormalization of general effective field theories: renormalization of fermionic operators

A bstract Renormalization group equations play a central role in effective field theories, both maintaining perturbative control and allowing one to determine the correct low-energy phenomenology. In this work, we complete the one-loop renormalization of the recently developed general effective field theory up to mass dimension six by providing the beta functions for physical fermionic operators. Together with ref. [1], our results allow one to renormalize any effective theory up to dimension six at one loop using only a group-theoretical calculation.
