I came across the following problem and wondering how to solve it. There is a plane n1x + n2y + n3z + n4 = 0 where n1, n2, n3, n4 are known. The triangle is in this plane. We already know the two vertices P1(x1, y1, z1), P2(x2, y2, z2) of the triangle. Now we have to find the third vertex P(x...

Trying to solve for the loop contribution when renormalizing a one loop ##\frac{\lambda}{4!}\phi^4## diagram with two external lines in ##d=4## dimensions. After writing down the Feynman rule I see that: $$\frac{(-i\lambda)}{2}\int d^4q \frac{i}{q^2-m_{\phi}^2+i\epsilon} $$ But I see no way to...

Have a look at O5 & O6 in Eqtns(5.4) . Why is there a (V+A) ? (V+A) contains the projection operator which projects out the right Weyl from a Dirac spinor. As per the Feynman rules of electroweak theory, there is a (V-A) assigned to each (Dirac) spinor-W boson vertex because W only couple to...

Hello, First,i am an absolute beginner in QCD. As i have seen there are six different Feynmangraphs for the Four-Point vertex. Swordfish,Box,... I am interested in the first of the six where the two gluons met in a point and goes away. My question now is. If for this case two different...

Eq 4.44 in Peskin and Schroeder. My question is: Does causality imply that time coordinates of z (internal vertex over which we doing the integration) should lie between the time coordinates of field phi(x) and phi(y)?

For convenience, I take the center of the upper face. The charges at the top cancel each other's effects, and those at the bottom cancel each other's horizontal effects, so I get$$E=4k\frac{q}{r^2}\sin\theta$$I have found that ##\theta=\arcsin\left(\frac{s}{r}\right)=\arcsin{\sqrt\frac{2}{3}}##...

This is probably a simple question but puzzled me a little when trying to explain something to somebody. In all resources online and in most books I've seen, the triple gluon vertex has no overall 'i' factor while e.g. the four gluon vertex always does. The photon and gluon propagators as well...

Hello everyone, I am stuck in the derivation of the three gauge-boson-vertex in Yang-Mills theories. The relevant interaction term in the Lagrangian is$$\mathcal{L}_{YM} \supset g \,f^{ijk}A_{\mu}{}^{(j)} A_{\nu}{}^{(k)} \partial^{\mu} A^{\nu}{}^{(i)} $$ I have rewritten this term using...

Find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the following parabola: y^2+12y+16x+68=0 The form we have been using is (y-k)^2=4p(x-h) Any explanation would help too, I'm really stuck on this one. Thank you!

In Peskin book they calculate the QED Vertex Function named Gamma which depend on two scalar functions called form factors F1(q^2), F2(q^2). they are calculating F1(q^2) and they do not really finish calculating for what I understand. They are just showing the Infrared divergent is canceled by...

I am reading the A First Book of Quantum Field Theory. I have reached the chapter of renormalization, where the authors describe how the infinities of the self-energy diagrams can be corrected. They have also discussed later how the infrared and ultraviolet divergences are corrected. Just before...

I am studying a beginner's book on QFT. In a chapter on electromagnetic form factors, the authors have written, using normalized states, $$\begin{eqnarray} \langle \vec{p'}, s'| j_\mu (x) |\vec{p}, s \rangle \ = \ \exp(-i \ q \cdot x) \langle \vec{p'}, s'| j_\mu (0) |\vec{p}, s \rangle...

I am studying QFT from the book A First Book of QFT. I am currently in the chapter of QED. The authors have written down the interaction Lagrangian for QED. Thereafter, they have taken a special case of the electron, and written down the normal-ordered interaction Hamiltonian for this case...

How do we describe a construction of a 2-colorable graph where the degree of every vertex is greater than or equal to (|V|-1)/2? Based on that, what can be said about the dependence of maximum vertex-degree on k-colorability of a graph? My first thought is that in order for a vertex to connect...

The Role of H in the quadratic function ( vertex form) i get that this is how its written on a graph y=(x-2)^2+k that the graph looks as if the value of h is positive as in +2 ( however its value is actually negative) looks like it shifted right my textbook contradicts itself y=3(x-1)^2 +2...

In the first Feynman diagram, an electron comes in, emits a photon and then leaves. Is this an allowed process? Because if you rotate the diagram by 90o, the diagram should be just as valid, but it doesn't seem to be since it would violate the law of conservation of momentum. So is the...

Hi, is correct to say that there is no interaction between four photons because the gauge group of QED is U (1) while there are interactions of four gluons or four W's because the gauge group of QCD is SU (3) and EW's one is SU (2) xU (1)? I know that the interaction between four photons is not...

I've run into stumbling block here, is some sort of conversion required when your equation looks like: (x+1/2)^2 = 12(y - 3). Do I move it to standard form or can I graph it as is?

I assume that if your theory has an interaction term written as LI= ±λ*fields, where λ is the coupling, that the 1PI vertex is defined as: $$i(\pm \Gamma)=i(\pm \lambda)+loops$$ That way to tree level, Γ is λ, and not -λ. The exception seems to be the self-energy. A mass term has -m2*field2...
