TL;DR Summary
What are the Feynman diagrams associated with the generating function of this free scalar field Lagrangian?
With free part L=-½(∂Φ)^2 -½m^2 Φ^2
and interaction term L=½gΦ^2Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

You have only a vertex with two legs. It's obvious that you get the exact solution by resumming Dyson's equation for the two-point Green's function, i.e., ##G=G_0+G_0 \Sigma G## with the self-energy ##\Sigma## which is trivial in this case. You know of course what you must get, namely a free particle with mass ##M## with ##M^2=m^2-g##.
 
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}...
