General Relativity Lagrangian

The Lagrangian density for the $h=h^{00}$ term of the Einstein gravity tensor can be simplified to: $$L=-\frac{1}{2}h\Box h + (M_p)^ah^2\Box h - (M_p)^b h T$$ The equations of motion following from t …

How can four-momentum be conserved in every frame in an elastic collision?

I have this problem: A particle B is standing still while another one, A, is moving towards it with initial 4-momentum $(E,p,0,0)$. Calculate the change in particle A's 4-momentum as viewed from t …

Resonance propagator properties

So this is what I have until now. For the normal propagator (no loop) we get: $$\frac{i}{p^2-M^2+i\epsilon}$$ M is the mass of $\phi$ and m is the mass of $\psi$. For the 1 loop correction, I get: $$( …

Resonance propagator properties

(This is part c & d of problem 7.9 from Schwartz' book on QFT). Show that a propagator only has an imaginary part if it goes on-shell. Explicitly, show that $$Im(M)=-\pi\delta(p^2-m^2)$$ when $$iM=\ …
