Derivation of Equation 2.27 from Peskin & Schroeder
In Section 2.3, Peskin & Schroeder discusses the quantization of real scalar field in Schrodinger picture. He writes Eq. (2.25) as follows.
$$\phi(\textbf{x}) = \int \frac{d^3p}{(2\pi)^3} \frac{1}{\sq …

Relation between Green’s functions and connected Green’s functions
From the given expression for $C_n$ we can write,
$$C_n = \left[ \frac{\partial^n W(J)}{\partial J^n}\right]_{J=0},$$
where $W(J) = \ln Z(J) = \ln \left[\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{n!} J^n G_n\right]$ …

Relation between Green’s functions and connected Green’s functions [closed]
I attempt to understand the $0$-dimensional QFT from these QFT lecture notes by Ronald Kleiss from 2019. The author defines the generating function $Z(J)$ and its logarithm in the following way.
$$Z(J …

Derivatives with Two Indices in Electromagnetic Lagrangian [duplicate]
I was reading about the derivation of Maxwell's equations from an electromagnetic Lagrangian density from Sean Carroll's Spacetime and Geometry: An Introduction to General Relativity. The Lagrangian d …

How do I evalute $\langle n|x^2 |n\rangle$ using the annihilation and creation operators?
I am assuming that the question is in the context of $1D$ simple harmonic oscillator.
If you consult any introductory quantum mechanics textbook, you will see that $\hat{x}$ can be written as $K(\ha …

Tension Forces between Different Blocks [closed]
For the mass $m_1$,
$$m_1\textbf{a}_1 = \textbf{T}_1$$
For the mass $m_2$,
$$m_2\textbf{a}_2 = \textbf{T}_2 + (-\textbf{T}_1)$$
For the mass $m_3$,
$$m_3\textbf{a}_3 = T_2 \hat{y} - m_3 g \hat{y}$ …

Coordinate Transformation in Mass-Pulley Problems
Let's say we want to determine the tension $T$ of the rope in the setup above.
For the mass $m_1$, in $XOY$ coordinate system, Newton's 2nd law yields
$$m_1 a_1 \, \hat{x} = T \, \hat{x} - m_1 g …

Limitation of Gauss's Law
We can use Gauss's law to find out the electric field $\vec{E}(\vec{r})$ due to an infinite cylinder of charge.
But if the cylinder is of finite length then it is said that $|\vec{E}(\vec{r})|$ is …

Lorentz Invariant Integration Measure [closed]
When we canonically quantize the scalar field in QFT, we use a Lorentz invariant integration measure given by
$$\widetilde{dk} \equiv \frac{d^3k}{(2\pi)^3 2\omega(\textbf{k})}.$$
How can I show that …

Parametric equations of a hypersurface
In light-front QFT, in the Minkowski space, we define a hypersurface, $\Sigma_+ : x^3+ x^0 = 0 $. How can I write its parametric equations?

Unitary spacetime translation operator
Srednicki writes: We can make this a little fancier by defining the unitary spacetime translation operator
$$ T(a) \equiv \exp(-iP^\mu a_\mu/ \hbar) $$
Then we have
$$ T(a)^{-1} \phi(x) T(a) = \ …
