I'm trying to work out equation 2.45 in these notes:
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/qft/two.pdf
Anyway [tex]\phi(\vec{x})[/tex] and [tex]\pi(\vec{x})[/tex] are given in equations 2.18 and 2.19
When I multiply out [itex]\pi(\vec{x}) \vec{\div} \phi(\vec{x})[/itex] I get four terms.
After normal ordering I can combine two of them to get the [tex]a_{\vec{p}}^\dagger a_{\vec{p}}[/tex] term I am meant to but I also have a [tex]a_{\vec{-p}} a_{\vec{p}}[/tex] and a [tex]a_{\vec{-p}}^\dagger a_{\vec{p}}^\dagger[/tex] term that I cannot get rid of.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the two extra terms?
Cheers
