Dimension-six operators of a real scalar field
ID: dimension-six-operators-of-a-real-scalar-field
In four dimensions, a real scalar field and a partial derivative each have mass dimension one. Seven scalar monomials of dimension six can be listed before integration by parts: , , , , , , and . They reduce to the three displayed representatives modulo total derivatives. Leading equations of motion reduce them further to a single new interaction, together with shifts of the existing mass and quartic coupling constant.
