We introduce matchmakereft, a fully automated tool to compute the tree-level and one-loop matching of arbitrary models onto effective theories. Matchmakereft performs an off-shell matching, using diagrammatic methods background field method (BFM) when gauge theories are involved. The large redundancy inherent together with explicit invariance offers significant number non-trivial checks results...

The quest for unification of particles and fields and for reconciliation of Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity has led us to gauge theories, string theories, supersymmetry and higher-extended objects: membranes... Our spacetime is quantum mechanical but it admits semiclassical descriptions of various “complementary” kinds that could be valid approximations in various circumstances. One of...

We derive the off-shell nilpotent Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) and antiBRST symmetry transformations for all the fields of a free Abelian 2-form gauge theory by exploiting the geometrical superfield approach to BRST formalism. The above four (3 + 1)dimensional (4D) theory is considered on a (4, 2)-dimensional supermanifold parameterized by the four even spacetime variables x (with μ = 0, 1,...

This paper deals with free vibration analysis of continuously graded fiber reinforced (CGFR) truncated conical shell based on third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT), by developing special power-law distributions. The orthotropic (CGFR) truncated conical shell are clamped and simply supported at the both ends. It is assumed to have a smooth variation of fibers volume fraction in the thickne...

In this article, the prominence has been given to study the influence of skew angle on bending response of functionally graded material shell panels under thermo-mechanical environment. Derivation of governing equations is based on the Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation theory and Sander’s kinematic equations. To circumvent the problem of C1 continuity requirement coupled with the finite el...
