Manuscript Title: SusyMath: a Mathematica package for quantum superfield calculations
Authors: A. F. Ferrari
Program title: SusyMath
Catalogue identifier: ADYQ_v1_0 Distribution format: tar.gz
Journal reference: Comput. Phys. Commun. 176(2007)334
Programming language: Mathematica.
Computer: Any platform supporting Mathematica 4.0 or higher. Tested on: PC (Athlon64 X2 +3800); 1Gb RAM.
Operating system: Linux (Debian 4.0); XOrg 7.0.22; Mathematica 5.2.
Keywords: Supersymmetry, Superfields, Symbolic Computation, Computer Algebra.
PACS: 11.30.Pb, 02.70.Wz.
Classification: 4.4, 11.1.
Nature of problem: Evaluate quantum corrections to the effective action of supersymmetric field theories, formulated in the superfield formalism, both in three- and four-spacetime dimensions.
Solution method: A set of procedures for integration by parts, application of the algebra of covariant derivatives and grassman integration, along with several auxiliary functions, is introduced.
Restrictions: At the moment, the background field method is not implemented, yet the system is designed to be further generalized.
Running time: Depends on the complexity of the problem. From seconds for simpler one-loop diagrams to several hours for simple two-loop graphs.
