Abstract

We systematically develop the Hilbert series technique for counting independent operators in Effective Field Theories. In the hope of providing more approachable entry point to the subject we include a detailed introduction of all necessary group theoretic tools (in a rather mathematical definition-theorem-proof style). Finally, we apply the formalism in the case of a single scalar field and also electromagnetic field, partly reproducing and partly extending known results.
