xTras: A field-theory inspired xAct package for mathematica

T Nutma - Computer Physics Communications, 2014 - Elsevier
We present the tensor computer algebra package xTras, which provides functions and
methods frequently needed when doing (classical) field theory. Amongst others, it can …

Computer algebra in gravity research

MAH MacCallum - Living reviews in relativity, 2018 - Springer
The complicated nature of calculations in general relativity was one of the driving forces in
the early development of computer algebra (CA). CA has become widely used in gravity …

A field-theory motivated approach to symbolic computer algebra

K Peeters - arxiv preprint cs/0608005, 2006 - arxiv.org
Field theory is an area in physics with a deceptively compact notation. Although general
purpose computer algebra systems, built around generic list-based data structures, can be …

FeynGrav: FeynCalc extension for gravity amplitudes

B Latosh - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Package'FeynGrav'which provides a framework to operate with Feynman rules for gravity
within'FeynCalc'is presented. We present a framework to deal with Feynman rules for …

FeynGrav 2.0

B Latosh - Computer Physics Communications, 2023 - Elsevier
We present a new version of FeynGrav. The present version supports Feynman rules for
matter with non-vanishing mass and SU (N) Yang-Mills model. We revisit the gauge fixing …

Higher derivative terms including the Ramond-Ramond five-form

MF Paulos - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
Superfield methods can be used to determine the precise way the self-dual five-form
couples to the metric in the first non-trivial α'corrections to type IIB supergravity. We explicitly …

Cadabra: a field-theory motivated symbolic computer algebra system

K Peeters - Computer Physics Communications, 2007 - Elsevier
Field theory is an area in physics with a deceptively compact notation. Although general
purpose computer algebra systems, built around generic list-based data structures, can be …

Third-order relativistic fluid dynamics at finite density in a general hydrodynamic frame

SM Diles, AS Miranda, LAH Mamani… - The European Physical …, 2024 - Springer
The motion of water is governed by the Navier–Stokes equations, which are complemented
by the continuity equation to ensure local mass conservation. In this work, we construct the …

Spacetime invariants and their uses

MAH MacCallum - arxiv preprint arxiv:1504.06857, 2015 - arxiv.org
There are various types of global and local spacetime invariant in general relativity. Here I
focus on the local invariants obtainable from the curvature tensor and its derivatives. The …
