Hello! Can someone direct me towards a reading where the Feynman rules for scalar QED are derived? Thank you!

For example, in "M. Schwartz, Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model". The book has a whole chapter about scalar QED.

Thank you! That is the book I am using actually and I am at that chapter, but in that book the rules are just listed, I would like a full derivation, the same way it is done in previous chapters for the ##\phi^3## interaction.
 
Why don't you derive them yourself? It is a worthwhile exercise and a good opportunity to do it in a case where you have access to the correct result.

I tried, but I am confused at certain steps. I would normally post here what I did so far and ask for help, but I am sure they are derived in some book already (also typing down everything would be quite time consuming as there are many indices).

Sorry, I do not buy this line of reasoning. To me it sounds as if someone posting in the homework forums would say "I would normally solve this problem, but it is difficult so instead I want you to give me the solution". I suggest you do exactly that, post what you have done so far and specify the steps where you are stuck.

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
