Green function for bilocal operatos?

Dear PF,

Could you tell me what is Green function for bilocal operators? As I understand from its form G(x1y1, x2y2,...)... now the pairs of XY are considered as points instead of single X points as in normal Green function
G(x1,x2,x3...). So What do we need it for? Or can it be decomposed into sums/products of ordinary Greens functions? Or where to read about it?

Thks

I've never heard of bilocal operators before, it could just be a difference in terminology. Are you talking about retarded and advanced Greens functions? A greens function can take any number of parameters, normally it's a vector and a time component.

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!
