Wightman Function for complex scalar field - timelike separations?
For a complex scalar field $\Phi$, the field has the expansion
$$
\Phi(x^0,\mathbf{x}) = \int \frac{d^{3}\mathbf{p}}{\sqrt{ 2 E_{\mathbf{p}} (2\pi)^3 } }\ \bigg[ e^{- i E_{\mathbf{p}}x^0 + i \mathbf{p …

Is the following statement true?
$$
\lim\limits_{\epsilon \to 0^{+}} \ln( x \pm i \epsilon ) = \mathscr{P}\ln|x| \pm i \pi \Theta(-x)
$$
where $\mathscr{P}$ is the Cauchy principal value. The above i …

Inserting a trace property into a divergent loop integral - what exactly is being done here?
I'm reading through "H. Kleinert and V. Schulte-Frohlinde" notes for "Critical Properties of $\phi^{4}$-Theories", and I've reached this point in the lecture notes:

Cutoff-Scheme Renormalization and Order of Integration in QFT
we have the equality:
$$
\iint_{X\times Y} f(x,y) d(x,y) = \int_X \left[ \int_Y f(x,y) dy \right] dx = \int_Y \left[ \int_X f(x,y) dx \right] dy
$$
So this tells us: We can safely switch the order of integration … Furthermore, what if the variable upon which we need to place our cutoff is different depending on the order of integration? This seems very concerning! …

Fourier transform of the free propagator squared - $\int d^{4}p\ \frac{e^{-i p\cdot x}}{p^{2...
The point of the question is to ask what is the function given by the following integral:
$$
H(x,y) \ \equiv \ \int \frac{d^{4}p}{(2\pi)^{4}} \frac{e^{-i p \cdot (x-y)}}{(p^{2}+m^{2}-i\epsilon)^{2}}

Finite-Temperature $\phi^{4}$ theory - Why is the massless $T\neq 0$ contribution diverging?
I'm following Chapter 3 of Kapusta and Gale's Finite-Temperature Field Theory here.
I'm considering the following integral (the unrenormalized self-energy evaluated at zero-four momentum):
$$

Wick-rotating the Fourier transform of $\mu+1$ propagators
In Equation (8) of this paper by Groote et. al., we are given the following Euclidean identity:
$$
\int \frac{d^{4}\mathbf{p}_{\mathrm{E}}}{(2\pi)^{4}} \frac{e^{ i \mathbf{p}_{\mathrm{E}} \cdot \mathb …

$$
\int \frac{d^{3}\mathbf{p}}{(2\pi)^3}\frac{1}{2\sqrt{|\mathbf{p}|^2+m^2}} \ = \int \frac{d^4p}{(2\pi)^4}\ 2\pi\ \delta(p^2+m^2)\Theta(p^0)
