Time Ordering in the FieldOpFreeAlgebra #

Time order #

For a field specification 𝓕, timeOrderF is the linear map

FieldOpFreeAlgebra 𝓕 β†’β‚—[β„‚] FieldOpFreeAlgebra 𝓕

defined by its action on the basis ofCrAnListF Ο†s, taking ofCrAnListF Ο†s to

crAnTimeOrderSign Ο†s β€’ ofCrAnListF (crAnTimeOrderList Ο†s).

That is, timeOrderF time-orders the field operators and multiplies by the sign of the time order.

The notation 𝓣ᢠ(a) is used for timeOrderF a

      In the state algebra time, ordering obeys T(φ₀φ₁…φₙ) = s * Ο†α΅’ * T(Ο†β‚€Ο†β‚β€¦Ο†α΅’β‚‹β‚Ο†α΅’β‚Šβ‚β€¦Ο†β‚™) where Ο†α΅’ is the state which has maximum time and s is the exchange sign of Ο†α΅’ and φ₀φ₁…φᡒ₋₁.
