Gauge group SU(5) coupled to a scalar field

1. For a project on elementary particle physics I have to consider a gauge theory with the gauge group SU(5) coupled to a scalar field.

I am to use a certain non-zero vacuum expectation value for the scalar field and check what happens to the gauge bosons.

I have already done this for SU(3) and I think I know how to do to it however I need to know the 24 generators of SU(5). The problem is that I can't seem to find them. In principle I could solve them by hand but it is a tremendous amount of work and I don't have Mathematica acces at the moment.

Does anybody know a website where I can find these matrices?

Thanks a lot in advance!

It looks like they are here:

Good luck with your project!

Thread 'Initial conditions for orbits around a wormhole'

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...

Thread 'Help to convert units of a simple formula'

The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
