A diagrammatic technique introduced by Richard Feynman to describe the quantum behaviour of subatomic particles and their interactions. Do not use for general questions on diagrams that are not of the Feynman kind.

Basic question regarding Feynman diagrams

Well I find hard to believe that you have to draw all the diagrams, since they are infinite. You probably have to draw only the first order ones. Start by drawing the in and out external legs and see …

Correction to the scalar propagator - derivative coupling

It seems to me that your Lagrangian is just a free Lagrangian in disguise. Start from $$\mathcal L =\frac{1}{2} (\partial_\mu \phi)^2 $$ and do a field redefinition $$\phi(x) \to \frac{2}{\lambd …

$T$-Channel matrix element

I assume this is a Compton scattering, so wavy line = photon and straight line = electron. In this case the photon is massless, so $p_4^2 = p_1^2 = 0$. So expanding the definition of $k$ you find for …

Decay and scattering terms in a field theory Lagrangian

It is not correct. A 3 field operator contributes to scattering amplitude (example: $\bar\psi \gamma^\mu \psi A_\mu$ in QED contributes to the electron scattering) and a 4 field operator can contribu …

D'Alembert operator interaction term in QFT Lagrangian

I think he has a typo in $(2.21)$. In the first line the $m^2$ at the numerator of the second integral should actually be a $p^2$. You can see that in the second line a $p^2$ appears out of nowhere. A …
