In case you have the Kahler and super- potential K,W:

K(T,S,C) = -log (S +S^{*}) -3 log ( T+ T^{*} - C C^{*})
W(T,S,C)= C^{3} + d e^{-aS} +b

with T,S,C chiral super fields, b,d complex numbers and a>0.
I tried to calculate the local F-terms arising from this. The local F-terms for the i-th chiral superfield are given by:

F_{i}= D_{i}W = K_{i}W + W_{i}

where in the rhs the index i denotes the derivative wrt to the i-th field. eg W_{S}=\frac{\partial W}{\partial S}

However I'm having a slight problem with the particular derivative. See what I mean...taking it:

F_{S}= K_{S} W + W_{S} = - \frac{C^{3} + d e^{-aS} +b}{S+S^{*}} -d a e^{-aS}

correct?
On the other hand, if I try to work with the covariant derivative wrt to the conjugate fields:

F^{*}_{S}= D_{S^{*}} W^{*} = K_{S^{*}} W^{*} + W_{S^{*}}
I don't get the complex conjugate of the above. Because in this case
W_{S^{*}}=0
and so:

F^{*}_{S}= - \frac{(C^{3} + d e^{-aS} +b)^{*}}{S+S^{*}}

what's the problem?

Ah found the mistake... again by writing in LaTeX it became obvious- In the F* equation I needed the W* derivative as the second term...
However
In the case of F let's say... How can I see if its module squared is simultaneously zero or not?

|F_{T}|^{2}= \frac{9}{(T+T^{*} - CC^{*})^{2}} |C^{3}+ d e^{-aS} +b |^{2}

|F_{S}|^{2}= | \frac{C^{3} + d e^{-aS} +b}{S+S^{*}} + d a e^{-aS}|^{2}

|F_{C}|^{2}= | \frac{3 C^{*} (C^{3}+d e^{-aS} +b)}{T+T^{*}-CC^{*}} +3 C^{2}|^{2}

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}...
