Description
Effective field theories (EFTs) are a powerful tool for the exploration
of potential new physics in a model-independent way. At a time when
there is a lack of clarity on how to extend the Standard Model, the
Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) and related EFTs have been
receiving an increasing amount of attention. For example, the number of
SMEFT operators, up to high mass dimensions, has been counted with
several techniques in the last few years. Building an explicit basis of
operators is more complicated, but here too there has been notable
progress. In this talk, I will go through my recent work on using the
software packages GroupMath and Sym2Int to automatically build explicit
bases of operators for EFTs, given their fields and symmetries.
