Toolkit to generate the most general gauge invariant Lagrangian for a given particle content

I am currently working on a BSM model for unification where I am adding scalars for unification. I add many scalars, so finding the most general gauge invariant lagrangian is becoming difficult. Is ...

$\beta$-function in non-Abelian scalar QCD

I study non-Abelian scalar QCD in $d = 4 - \epsilon$ dimensions (using dimensional reduction). That is, I consider complex scalars, $\Phi^i$ with $i \in \{1, ..., N\}$, that satisfies $U(N)$-symmetry, ...

Connection between the Least Action principle and the Schwarzschild's metric in General Relativity

I'm looking for some simple paper/textbook explaining the fact that time dilation in the Schwarzschild's metric can be translated into the classic equation of motion in a gravitational field. That is: ...

Computer code to quickly check equation of motion to first or higher order from action (4D spacetime)

I derived equations of motion up to first order from a Lagrangian for a scalar field in a 4D spacetime. Now, I would like to cross-check my results. Is there by any chance an application / code /...
