XIV-C@1#eq:cross-orders

Back to manuscript

A displayed divergence is transferred to its incoming numerical line. Derivatives on unused fields are not transferred to an unrelated line.

In the following table a superscript on a field slot is its derivative order, and an edge superscript is the derivative order on that internal retarded line. The scalar kinetic terms give the displayed maxima; the mass terms have the corresponding lower orders.

For the gravitational source terms, , including their fixed layer coefficients. For a stress monomial in the kinetic case and in the mass case.

The interaction slots at have orders

Therefore each cross-line order is fixed by its endpoints:

In the scalar cross-line can have order three. In and the metric cross-line carries the selected source derivative. For and , each of the two scalar cross-lines separately uses (eq:cross-orders).

These assignments name line orders, not a tensor truncation. The complete graph has maximum total derivative count six after inclusion of the interaction.
