For a list φs
of 𝓕.FieldOp
, a grading compliant Wick contraction φsΛ
of φs
,
and a Wick contraction φsucΛ
of [φsΛ]ᵘᶜ
, the following relation holds
(join φsΛ φsucΛ).sign = φsΛ.sign * φsucΛ.sign
.
In φsΛ.sign
the sign is determined by starting with the contracted pair
whose first element occurs at the left-most position. This lemma manifests that this
choice does not matter, and that contracted pairs can be brought together in any order.
For a list φs
of 𝓕.FieldOp
, a Wick contraction φsΛ
of φs
,
and a Wick contraction φsucΛ
of [φsΛ]ᵘᶜ
,
(join φsΛ φsucΛ).sign • (join φsΛ φsucΛ).timeContract
is equal to the product of
φsΛ.sign • φsΛ.timeContract
andφsucΛ.sign • φsucΛ.timeContract
