Where Can I Study Peskin and Schroeder? | Physics Forums

Gents,

Would you be so kind to help me with my question please which has been relocated
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=87659

Thanks in advance

Sorry but,

Could at least tell me why my question is not getting any replies?
Im very wondered... its too nonsensical ? If so what do I say wrong?

I think the expresion <0|\phi(x)\phi(y)|0>
survives <0|a_p a_q^\dag|0> means:
<0|a_p^\dag a_q^\dag|0>=0 and <0|a_p a_q|0>=0;
only <0|a_p a_q^\dag|0> survives, of course p and q are arbitary,
not single p and single q. the final result will be an integral over all possible p or q.

(2) <0|\phi(x)|, is just complex conjugate of (2.41).
there is no special physical significance here, the author, I guess, just mentioned NR
case to make the formula be easily understood.

<0|\phi(x)=<x| this is a simple calculation

(as u posted in homework section)

Dear Snooper007 thks for ur reply..
<0|\phi(x) it is a complex conjugation of \phi(x)|0>
So <0|\phi(x)=\int{\frac{d^3 p}{(2\pi)^3}\frac{1}{2E_p}e^{ipx}<p|

&lt;0|\phi(x)=&lt;x| < - ?

and with regard to question 1) I still don't feel comfort with understanding..
seems I did no understand ur reply as it should be

I wonder in what colleges one studies Peskin and Schroeder...
