Time contractions #
For a list Ļs
of š.FieldOp
and a Wick contraction ĻsĪ
the
element of the center of š.FieldOpAlgebra
, ĻsĪ.timeContract
is defined as the product
of timeContract Ļs[j] Ļs[k]
over contracted pairs {j, k}
in ĻsĪ
with j < k
.

For a list Ļs = Ļāā¦Ļā
of š.FieldOp
, a Wick contraction ĻsĪ
of Ļs
, an element Ļ
of
š.FieldOp
, and a i ā¤ Ļs.length
the following relation holds
(ĻsĪ ā©Ī Ļ i none).timeContract = ĻsĪ.timeContract
The proof of this result ultimately is a consequence of definitions.

, then
(ĻsĪ ā©Ī Ļ i (some k)).timeContract
is equal to the product of
[anPart Ļ, Ļs[k]]ā
ĻsĪ.timeContract
- two copies of the exchange sign of
Ļ
with the uncontracted fields inĻāā¦Ļāāā
. These two exchange signs cancel each other out but are included for convenience.
