Demystifier reacted to renormalize's post in the thread Graduate How to fix Relativistic QM so it's consistent? with
Agree.
The following is taken from Bjorken and Drell, Relativistic Quantum Mechanics (1964), pp. 5-6: So the problem with the Klein-Gordon... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate How to fix Relativistic QM so it's consistent?.If doesn't work in relativistic context. For example, if you apply it to Klein-Gordon equation then probability is not conserved. -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate How to fix Relativistic QM so it's consistent?.The main problem is how to define probability density for particle positions. QFT avoids that problem by saying that the theory at the... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Windows 10 Now Not Supported.I know people who still use Windows XP, without any problems. Hence I do not expect problems with my Windows 10. I will switch to... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Undergrad Are fields' reality only a relative one?.If the fields of the Standard Model are not fundamental, then what is? We don't know. It could be some other fields, or it could be... -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Is It Known For Sure Infinites In QFT Are Caused Using a Continuum?.I disagree https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/simulating-physics-the-current-status-of-lattice-field-theories.1014629/#post-6626056 -
Demystifier replied to the thread Graduate Is It Known For Sure Infinites In QFT Are Caused Using a Continuum?.There are two kinds on infinities in QFT, UV infinities and IR infinities. UV infinities are due to using a continuum (in both space and... -
Demystifier reacted to gentzen's post in the thread Undergrad What does the product part of Laughlin wave function mean? with
Like.
Yes, this is the meaning of that product symbol with two subscripts. -

Like.
Of course. All have erratas. -
Demystifier reacted to dextercioby's post in the thread Quantum "WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians with
Informative.
Speaking of Folland's books, they are notorious for typos. Here's the errata for his 1st edition of the QFT book. -
Demystifier reacted to JimWhoKnew's post in the thread Undergrad Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field propagation with
Like.
Equation (4) is correct in Coulomb gauge, where equation (3) holds everywhere, not only on the equatorial plane.
