Time contractions #
For a list φs of 𝓕.FieldOp and a Wick contraction φsΛ the
element of the center of 𝓕.WickAlgebra, φsΛ.timeContract is defined as the product
of timeContract φs[j] φs[k] over contracted pairs {j, k} in φsΛ
with j < k.
Equations
- φsΛ.timeContract = ∏ a : ↥↑φsΛ, ⟨FieldSpecification.WickAlgebra.timeContract (φs.get (φsΛ.fstFieldOfContract a)) (φs.get (φsΛ.sndFieldOfContract a)), ⋯⟩
Instances For
For a list φs = φ₀…φₙ of 𝓕.FieldOp, a Wick contraction φsΛ of φs, an element φ of
𝓕.FieldOp, and a i ≤ φs.length the following relation holds
(φsΛ ↩Λ φ i none).timeContract = φsΛ.timeContract
The proof of this result ultimately is a consequence of definitions.
For a list φs = φ₀…φₙ of 𝓕.FieldOp, a Wick contraction φsΛ of φs, an element φ of
𝓕.FieldOp, a i ≤ φs.length and a k in φsΛ.uncontracted, then
(φsΛ ↩Λ φ i (some k)).timeContract is equal to the product of
timeContract φ φs[k]ifi ≤ kortimeContract φs[k] φifk < iφsΛ.timeContract.
The proof of this result ultimately is a consequence of definitions.
For a list φs = φ₀…φₙ of 𝓕.FieldOp, a Wick contraction φsΛ of φs, an element φ of
𝓕.FieldOp, a i ≤ φs.length and a k in φsΛ.uncontracted such that i ≤ k, with the
condition that φ has greater or equal time to φs[k], then
(φsΛ ↩Λ φ i (some k)).timeContract is equal to the product of
[anPart φ, φs[k]]ₛφsΛ.timeContract- two copies of the exchange sign of
φwith the uncontracted fields inφ₀…φₖ₋₁. These two exchange signs cancel each other out but are included for convenience.
The proof of this result ultimately is a consequence of definitions and
