Wicks theorem

However, since the interaction . Here we will outline one possible approach. For example, in Hubbard-Stratonovich or (generally) Variational Mean-Field Theory (like Bogliubov-deGennes) you take the .

We need to decompose the fields in positive and negative frequency parts to write the time–ordered product.

T (LI(x)LI(y)) in terms of normal–ordered products and propagators.

Normal order and expectation values.

Second quantization: atomic electrons (fermions). Described by the wave function Ψk(qi). One of the first things which bothers me is the difference in definitions of normal ordered product and contraction in usual QFT and in CFT. Both the static and the time- ordered cases are presented. Each element of the matrix is the average of the chronological . In passing, we observe how the standard quantum field theory result known as.

Quite similar to the original . A finite-temperature version holds in the framework of the grand canonical ensemble, but not for . The normal-ordered operator is defined as the difference between the operator and the ground state expectation value of that operator, e. Feynman propagator for massive K-G. You may know that manually working out is rather awkward. You can input the expressions according to the following examples (Please excuse me for the ungly input grammars). Note that no spaces are allowed between the . C denotes the contraction of the fields inside its brackets. Application to theAntiferromagnetic.
