I'm having a memory blank on this particular area of field theory. Is the product of two spinors a scalar or scalar type entity and if so, can I treat it like a scalar? (i.e. move it around without worrying about order etc)

i.e.

is \Phi_1^{\dagger} \Phi_1 a scalar?

and if so does:

\Phi_2 \left(\Phi_1^{\dagger} \Phi_1\right) = \left(\Phi_1^{\dagger} \Phi_1\right) \Phi_2

where both phi's are SU(2) complex spinors.

Thanks

Yes, if you think back to the definition of SU(2), it is precisely the group under which quantities like \psi^\dagger \psi are scalars (namely, it preserves a hermitian inner product). Also, whether you can commute those quantities is not related to whether they are scalars, but does depend on if they are fermionic or bosonic (though, in this case, anything squared is bosonic, so commutes with everything). Also, if they are operators rather than classical fields you need to be careful.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
