Baryon number, lepton number, and operator dimension in the SMEFT with flavor symmetries

Using group theory techniques, we investigate the mathematical relationship between baryon number, lepton number, and operator dimension in the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT), when flavor symmetries are present. For a large set of flavor symmetries, the lowest-dimensional baryon- or l...
