If I have a product like

<br /> \bar\ psi\gamma^\mu\psi\bar\psi\gamma_\mu\psi<br /> &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; how can i rearrange with Fierz transformations?

I assume, you meant to write

<br /> V(4,2;3,1) = \bar{\psi}(4) \gamma_{a} \psi(2) \bar{\psi}(3) \gamma^{a} \psi(1)<br />

The Fietz transformation is

V(4,2;3,1) = \left( - S + \frac{1}{2} V - \frac{1}{2} A + P \right) (4,1;3,2)

where

S(4,1;3,2) = \bar{\psi}(4) \psi(1) \bar{\psi}(3) \psi(2)

<br /> A(4,1;3,2) = \bar{\psi}(4) \gamma_{5} \gamma_{a} \psi(1) \bar{\psi}(3) \gamma^{a}\gamma_{5} \psi(2)<br />

<br /> P(4,1;3,2) = \bar{\psi}(4) \gamma_{5} \psi(1) \bar{\psi}(3) \gamma_{5} \psi(2)<br />

and similar one for V(4,1;3,2). See page 160-162 in Itzykson & Zuber; QFT.

Thanks a lot, Sam. This is what I was looking for.

Well, I'm simulating a neutron-proton scattering phase shift. The equation that I solve numerically is the Phase function method and is $$ \frac{d}{dr}[\delta_{i+1}] = \frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}\frac{V(r)}{k^2}\sin(kr + \delta_i)$$ ##\delta_i## is the phase shift for triplet and singlet state, ##\mu## is the reduced mass for neutron-proton, ##k=\sqrt{2\mu E_{cm}/\hbar^2}## is the wave number and ##V(r)## is the potential of interaction like Yukawa, Wood-Saxon, Square well potential, etc. I first...
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}...
