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.
