Fourth order
At fourth order, imposing either Galilean or gauge symmetry forces 12 dependent coupling
constants to be specific linear combinations of 3 independent ones:

At this order, there are 3 stand-alone Galilean and gauge invariant terms:
and 3 Galilean and gauge invariant linear combinations of terms, corresponding to
the 3 independent coupling constants:
Altogether, these 6 free coupling constants (3 unrestricted and 3 independent)
occur in both the Galilean and gauge invariant EDF at fourth order,
cf. Table 6.
Apart from these 6 free and 12 dependent coupling constants,
the gauge invariance requires that all the remaining 27
coupling constants are equal to zero. These 27 constants are allowed to
be non-zero if the Galilean symmetry is imposed instead of the
full gauge invariance. Then, there are 18 dependent coupling
constants that are forced to be linear combinations of 9 independent
ones:

Finally,
we list 9 combinations of terms that are
invariant with respect to the Galilean symmetry and correspond to
the independent coupling constants:
