Classifying 50 years of Bell inequalities

Since John S. Bell demonstrated the interest of studying linear combinations of probabilities in relation with the EPR paradox in 1964, Bell inequalities have lead to numerous developments.Unfortunately, the description of Bell inequalities is subject to several degeneracies, which make any exchange of information about them unnecessarily hard.Here, we analyze these degeneracies and propose a decomposition for Bell-like inequalities based on a set of reference expressions which is not affected by them.These reference expressions set a common ground for comparing Bell inequalities.We provide algorithms based on finite group theory to compute this decomposition.Implementing these algorithms allows us to set up a compendium of reference Bell-like inequalities, available online at http://www.faacets.com .This website constitutes a platform where registered Bell-like inequalities can be explored, new inequalities can be compared to previously-known ones and relevant information on Bell inequalities can be added in a collaborative manner.
