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!

It's discussed in many books. Take a look at this draft of a QFT book by Srednicki:

Sterman's QFT book also discusses phi-3 theory, so does Muta's QCD book.
 
Thanx a lot!
 
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}...
