Action of $M_{\mu \nu}$ on local operators $\mathcal{O}(x)$
I'm following the TASI Lectures on the Conformal Bootstrap by David Simmons-Duffin.
Let $M_{\mu \nu}$ be the conserved charge operator associated with rotations. The action of said operator on local o …

Euclidean propagator expression for massless particle
Let $\Delta_F(\tilde{x})$ denote the Feynman propagator in the Euclidean variable $\tilde{x}$, in $D$ dimensions,
$$\Delta_F(\tilde{x}) = \int \frac{\text{d}^D\tilde{p}}{(2\pi)^D}\frac{e^{i\,\tilde{p} …

Lorentz boost of Dirac spinor
Thanks to @G. Smith and @mike stone, I've come to a solution.
Expanding in Taylor Series,
$$ S(\delta_x) = e^{\frac{\delta_x}{2}
\begin{pmatrix}
0 & \sigma_x \\
\sigma_x & 0
\end{pmatrix}} = \sum_{n …

Matrix Representation of Lorentz Group Generators
Thanks to @Charlie and @Cosmas Zachos I was able to find the correct answer.
It simply suffices to develop the sum
$$\frac{\omega^{\alpha \beta}}{2}\left(J_{\alpha \beta} \right)^{\mu}{}_{\nu} = -\del …

Matrix Representation of Lorentz Group Generators
Let $\Lambda^{\alpha}{}_{\beta}$ denote a generic Lorentz transformation.
Then, an infinitesimal transformation can be written like
$$\Lambda^{\mu}{}_{\nu} = \delta^{\mu}{}_{\nu} + \omega^{\mu}{}_{\n …

Transition amplitude integral and causality
I was trying to prove that Quantum Mechanics violates causality.
To do that, I started by computing the transition amplitude between the fixed position $x_0$ and an arbitrary position $x$, during a ce …

Master equation for reproduction and mutual annihilation process
After searching in several books, I found out that the expression is, indeed, correct. However, some authors prefer to absorve the $\frac{1}{2}$ in the definition of $\lambda$.
For future reference, a …

Fourier transform of linear response function
I was studying Linear Response Theory from 'A modern course in statistical physics' by Reichl, and some doubts came up.
The response function is defined as
$$<\alpha(t)>_{F} = \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} …
