Normal ordering with relation to Wick contractions #
Normal order of uncontracted terms within proto-algebra. #
For a list ฯs = ฯโโฆฯโ
of ๐.FieldOp
, a Wick contraction ฯsฮ
of ฯs
, an element ฯ
of
๐.FieldOp
, and a i โค ฯs.length
, then the following relation holds:
๐([ฯsฮ โฉฮ ฯ i none]แตแถ) = s โข ๐(ฯ :: [ฯsฮ]แตแถ)
where s
is the exchange sign for ฯ
and the uncontracted fields in ฯโโฆฯแตขโโ
.
The proof of this result ultimately is a consequence of normalOrder_superCommute_eq_zero
.
For a list ฯs = ฯโโฆฯโ
of ๐.FieldOp
, a Wick contraction ฯsฮ
of ฯs
, an element ฯ
of
๐.FieldOp
, a i โค ฯs.length
and a k
in ฯsฮ.uncontracted
, then
๐([ฯsฮ โฉฮ ฯ i (some k)]แตแถ)
is equal to the normal ordering of [ฯsฮ]แตแถ
with the ๐.FieldOp
corresponding to k
removed.
The proof of this result ultimately is a consequence of definitions.
