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 charged Gluons interact are they repulsive?

I am reading

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-8260-8

and take a look on the picture on (5.14)

I am interested in the action of the first of the three posibilities the cross and not the lines.

I think you mean QCD.

There is no standard counting. "First" does not specify.

If for this case

You can't get a physical quantity by calculating one diagram (it likely won't even be finite). You need to calculate the sum of all diagrams that contribute to a process.
 
Thanks but i only want to know if the first component acts repulsive or not.
From the sign it is different to the two negative others.
I think it is possible to anwer.

And this is a meaningless question because, as @Vanadium 50 said, you have to look at all diagrams for a given process together; just looking at one tells you nothing. So it doesn't even make sense to ask if just one diagram "acts repulsive"; just one diagram by itself is physically meaningless.
 
Thanks but i am interested in it.Maybe it is meaningless in this case.
All diagrams are also interesting but as i said i am interested in the first component.
The background is that diagram 2 and 3 have a gluon between and diagram 1 not!
So i assume that the first diagram has repulsive results wenn the charge of the gluons is different.
For diagram 2 and 3 i think it is attracitve for different charged gluons (other sign as component 1 ) because there is a spin 1 gluon between.
Maybe i am completely wrong because i am a beginner.
I still think that it is possible to give an answer.

If you think you are asking a meaningful question that can be answered, yes, you are wrong.

Unfortunately it is not, for reasons that have already been explained.

Thread closed.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
