The Sym2Int program: going from symmetries to interactions

Abstract

Model builders often need to find the most general Lagrangian which can be constructed from a given list of fields. These fields are actually representations of the Lorentz and gauge groups (and maybe of some discrete symmetry group as well). I will describe a simple program (Sym2Int) which helps to automate this task by listing all possible interactions between Lorentz/gauge group representations.
