The ABC of scale invariance at the level of action integrals, and the software tool Kanon

Abstract

A central and common aspect of renormalizable field theories is scale invariance of the action integral. This note introduces the software tool \emph{Kanon}, which allows to assemble arbitrary action integrals interactively, and to determine their critical dimension and scale invariance. The tool contains more than 60 well-known models with comments and references to the literature.
