[QUOTE="mahnamahna, post: 3579036, member: 295042"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] Derive the Feynman rules for for a complex scalar field. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] [itex]L=\partial_\mu\phi^\dagger\partial^\mu\phi +m^2\phi-\lambda/4 |\phi|^4[/itex][h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] I wrote the generating functional for the non-interacting theory [itex]Z_0[J]=Z_0[0]exp(-\int d^4xd^4yJ^\dagger (x) J(y) D_F(x-y)[/itex] And I think I can use this to calculate the correlation functions directly, I just don't understand exactly how the presence of antiparticles change the Feynman diagrams/rules. I guess charge has to be conserved at all vertices, but I don't explicitly see that condition (I see overall charge conservation). Is this the only change in the Feynman rules? The propagators for both seem the same, and each vertex still gives [itex]-i\lambda\int d^4z[/itex]. [ATTACH=full]146891[/ATTACH] These pictures contribute to different 4 point functions, but do they contribute the same term to their respective sums? Also, does the presence of anti particles change the calculation of symmetry factors? [/QUOTE]
