    if you ask just for the result here it is: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Fourier+transform+u^3%2F%28u^4%2B4%29

    Degeneracy and commuting observables

    Well, say A is nondegenerate, then B's matrix elements are all diagonal in A's representation You can see it quite fast, by sandwiching the commutator between two basekets. Well considering A as nondegenerate might not help, because it switches A and B in the problem...

    Commutation relation of angular momentum

    [L_i,p_ir_i]=p_i[L_i,r_i]+[L_i,p_i]r_i Inserting: L_i=\epsilon_{ijk}r_j p_k Gives: [L_i,p_ir_i]=\epsilon_{ijk}p_i[r_j p_k,r_i]+\epsilon_{ijk}[r_j p_k,p_i]r_i =\epsilon_{ijk}p_i r_j[p_k,r_i]+\epsilon_{ijk}[r_j,p_i]r_i p_k =-i\hbar\epsilon_{ijk}p_i...

    Scalar fields: why symmetric ener-mom. tensor?

    Writing it as: T^{\mu\nu}=\partial^{\mu}\phi\partial^ {\nu}\phi-\eta^{\mu\nu}L should make you see it directly. Your metric is always symetric, and \partial^{\mu}\phi\partial^ {\nu}\phi=\partial^{\nu}\phi\partial^{\mu}\phi.

    Position operator is it communitative

    Show (that is my guess based on your information, which is rather few): x H \neq H x Integrals do not help for not commuting operators.

    Normalising wave functions.

    Probably posting your integration helps others to spot your mistakes. if you really do not see it on your own. Well you probably remember cos^2 + sin^2 = 1, so integrating over full peroids of a sine squared (or cosine squared) gives you half of the peroid length.
