New Algorithm for Tensor Calculation in Field Theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-30 v2

Abstract

Tensor calculation of suffix-contraction is carried out by a C-program. Tensors are represented graphically, and the algorithm makes use of the topology of graphs. Classical and quantum gravity, in the weak-field perturbative approach, is a special interest. Examples of the leading order calculation of some general invariants such as R\mn\lsR\mn\lsR_{\mn\ls}R^{\mn\ls} are given. Application to Weyl anomaly calculation is commented.
