Tidal effects in quantum field theory
Abstract We apply the Hilbert series to extend the gravitational action for a scalar field to a complete, non-redundant basis of higher-dimensional operators that is quadratic in the scalars and the Weyl tensor. Such an extension of the action fully describes tidal effects arising from operators inv...
