Interactive fields in QFT - the φ^3 example

PhysiSmo
Does anybody knows a textbook, a paper or any lecture notes that discusses the \phi^3 interactive field? I use as main reference Ryder's QFT, which discusses only the \phi^4 interaction. And most similar textbooks (like Peskin's, Brown's etc.) do so.

I have derived the point functions and currently trying to renormalize the \phi^3 theory, so I'd like to compare my results with the right ones. Thanx!

I would suggest to post this question in the quantum physics board (or even possibly in the Particle Physics board which is not as active but would have more people having done quantum field theory)
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
