Guys...help me out to understand this 3-vertex factor of non-abelian and or QCD fields.
it is from peskin & schroeder page 507.

What specifically don't you understand?

i am latexing the 2 equations in a minute that i need help for.
 
Guys...help me out to understand this 3-vertex factor of non-abelian and or QCD fields
and then the 4-vertex of the same fields, it is from peskin & schroeder page 507.

I want to understand how to get the following vertex factors.
The equation are as follows;\begin{equation}

eq-1=gf^{abc}[g^{\mu\nu}(k-p)^{\rho}+g^{\nu\rho}(p-q)^{\mu}+g^{\rho\mu}(q-k)^{\nu}]

\end{equation}

\begin{equation}

eq-2=-ig^{2}[f^{abc}f^{cde}(g^{\mu\nu}g^{\nu\sigma}-g^{\mu\sigma}g^{\nu\rho})+f^{ace}f^{bde}(g^{\mu\nu}g^{\rho\sigma}-g^{\mu\sigma}g^{\nu\rho})+f^{ade}f^{bce}(g^{\mu\nu}g^{\rho\sigma}-g^{\mu\rho}g^{\nu\sigma})]

\end{equation}
 
You should be able to derive these interaction terms by expanding the Lagrangian density in the fields as usual.
 
yes, I expanded just the lagrangian propotional to 1/4tr(G)^2 and got the 3 and 4 vertex terms. what I am confused is that
how do I get these terms by permutation of what? the group indices a,b,c,?

Bailin and Love says on page 127 that permutation of momentum and lorentz indices will give these vertex factors
but I am having problem in computing it.
 
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}...
