QFT Lagrangian Problem: Find Free Particle Action Hermitian Way
I write the lagrangian as: L = ihψ*∂0ψ+h2/2m(∂iψ*)(∂iψ) but it's not hermitian so I rewrite as L = ih/2[ψ*∂0ψ-ψ∂0ψ*]+h2/2m(∂iψ*)(∂iψ) If I apply the equation to L or L* I get the schrödinger equation for ψ and ψ* Is it correct? Then the action is S=∫dx4L- arten

QFT Lagrangian Problem: Find Free Particle Action Hermitian Way
Hello, I've started a course on QFT and I'm having some troubles trying to find the solution of this exercise: Write the action of a non-relativistic spineless free particle in a manifestly hermitian way The problem should be simple but I'm a bit lost in the hermitian way part... What does it...- arten
