Description
We derive Ward identities for the standard model effective field theory using the background-field method. The resulting symmetry constraints on the standard model effective field theory are basis independent, and constrain the perturbative and power-counting expansions. A geometric description of the field connections, and real representations for the SU(2)L×U(1)Y generators, underlies the derivation.
