Solutions to the nuclear many-body problem rely on effective interactions, and in general effective operators, to take into account effects not included in calculations. These include effects due to the truncation to finite model spaces…
The entire form of the amplitude of three SYM ( involving two transverse scalar fields, a gauge field) and a potential $C_{n-1}$ Ramond-Ramond (RR) form field is found out. We first derive $<V_{C^{-2}} V_{A^{0}} V_{\phi ^{0}} V_{\phi…
