Description
Theories of vector fields are central to theoretical physics, and due to the recent spike
in interest of Generalized Proca theories we formalize the process used in deriving their
actions. After reviewing the construction techniques used in previous literature, I will
present the novel technique developed by us and the final form of our extended action.
I will elaborate on the consistency and exhaustivity of our approach. The talk finishes
with a review and discussion on applications of our new theory.
