Static Wick's terms #
For a list φs of 𝓕.FieldOp, and a Wick contraction φsΛ of φs, the element
of 𝓕.WickAlgebra, φsΛ.staticWickTerm is defined as
φsΛ.sign • φsΛ.staticContract * 𝓝([φsΛ]ᵘᶜ).
This is a term which appears in the static version Wick's theorem.

For the empty list [] of 𝓕.FieldOp, the staticWickTerm of the Wick contraction
corresponding to the empty set ∅ (the only Wick contraction of []) is 1.
For a list φs = φ₀…φₙ of 𝓕.FieldOp, a Wick contraction φsΛ of φs, and an element φ of
𝓕.FieldOp, then (φsΛ ↩Λ φ 0 none).staticWickTerm is equal to
φsΛ.sign • φsΛ.staticWickTerm * 𝓝(φ :: [φsΛ]ᵘᶜ)
The proof of this result relies on
staticContract_insert_noneto rewrite the static contract.sign_insert_none_zeroto rewrite the sign.
For a list φs = φ₀…φₙ of 𝓕.FieldOp, a Wick contraction φsΛ of φs, an element φ of
𝓕.FieldOp, and a k in φsΛ.uncontracted, (φsΛ ↩Λ φ 0 (some k)).wickTerm is equal
to the product of
- the sign
𝓢(φ, φ₀…φᵢ₋₁) - the sign
φsΛ.sign φsΛ.staticContracts • [anPart φ, ofFieldOp φs[k]]ₛwheresis the sign associated with movingφthrough uncontracted fields inφ₀…φₖ₋₁- the normal ordering of
[φsΛ]ᵘᶜwith the field operatorφs[k]removed.
The proof of this result ultimately relies on
staticContract_insert_someto rewrite static contractions.normalOrder_uncontracted_someto rewrite normal orderings.sign_insert_some_zeroto rewrite signs.
For a list φs = φ₀…φₙ of 𝓕.FieldOp, a Wick contraction φsΛ of φs, the following relation
holds
φ * φsΛ.staticWickTerm = ∑ k, (φsΛ ↩Λ φ 0 k).staticWickTerm
where the sum is over all k in Option φsΛ.uncontracted, so k is either none or some k.
The proof proceeds as follows:
ofFieldOp_mul_normalOrder_ofFieldOpList_eq_sumis used to expandφ 𝓝([φsΛ]ᵘᶜ)as a sum overkinOption φsΛ.uncontractedof terms involving[anPart φ, φs[k]]ₛ.- Then
staticWickTerm_insert_zero_noneandstaticWickTerm_insert_zero_someare used to equate terms.
