Generating topologies
Generate_topologies_v1.zip (60 kB) contains a pedagogical Mathematica notebook and FeynArts model file to generate tree-level topologies.
We provide all topologies up to mass dimension 15 used in the paper as well as some topologies at lower mass dimension that are not relevant for baryon number violation but might be of interest for other studies. Topologies beyond those can be generated easily using the Generate_topologies Mathematica notebook or per request by the authors.
topology_files.zip (10 MB, 175 MB unzipped) contains topologies in Mathematica's wl format organized by mass dimension of the associated non-derivative operator and the number of external fermions and scalars. For example, dim7-4F-1S.wl contains the two tree-level topologies for 4 external fermions and 1 external scalar that correspond to a non-derivative operator of mass dimension 7:
Each file is a list of entries that consist of a Mathematica Graph object with labeled edges, a list that collects information about the external and internal particles (S = external scalar/boson, F = external fermion, NB = internal boson, NF = internal fermion), and a list of vertices. E.g. in the first example, particles 2, 3, and 6 (as labeled in the graph) meet at one vertex, particles 1, 6, and 7 at another, and particles 4, 5, and 7 at the last vertex. Our topology format is redundant, the graph contains the same information as the last two entries together, so we also provide topology information in the form of text files, topology_text_files.zip (1 MB, 16 MB unzipped), which can be used without Mathematica and also contain a numbering of the topologies. The dimension-seven example from above takes the compact form
T[7][1] {"S", "F", "F", "F", "F", "NB", "NB"} {{2, 3, 6}, {1, 6, 7}, {4, 5, 7}}
T[7][2] {"S", "F", "F", "F", "F", "NF", "NB"} {{1, 3, 6}, {2, 6, 7}, {4, 5, 7}}
in this notation, where the first column defines the topology names (T[mass dimension][unique integer]) and the second and third column match the corresponding columns in the .wl files. Finally, we also provide pdf files of all topologies used in the article: topology_pdfs.zip (32 MB).
Generating UV completions
The above topologies can be used to UV-complete non-renormalizable effective-field-theory operators, in our case non-derivative baryon-number-violating νSMEFT operators up to mass dimension 15 (BNV_operators.zip, 40 kB, 300 kB unzipped) that were generated with Sym2Int.
