    Question form Peskin Schroeder

    Dear PF, I have one question form Peskin Schroeder...could you pls help me It is very simple question... Since I don't know how to write formulas here I put my question in attachment. Thank you very much.

    Question form Peskin Schroeder

    Sorry for bothering... How does righthand side of formula 5.94 is derived from its left handside after some approximation? Probably it is very simple question but I could't get that expression:confused: Thank u very much

    Understanding Lorentz Representations and Their Corresponding Identities

    Dexter I really appreciate ur quick responses that's really very helpful. Thanks So can I from two sets of generators of fundamental representation of SU(2) (from Pauli Matrices) somehow get Lorentz generators for vector transformation? The generators of a direct product representation...

    Understanding Lorentz Representations and Their Corresponding Identities

    Dear PF, Just recently I got book (Group Theory of Physics by Wu-Ki Tung), I had a glance through it. I have a question: SU(2)*SU(2) is isomorphic to Lorentz group (Let symbol “*” be a direct product), so to know everything on Lorentz group it is sufficient to be familiar with SU(2). Let...

    Understanding Lorentz Representations and Their Corresponding Identities

    Hello everyone, In wikipedia when searching Lorentz representations, there is given that (1/2,0)*(0,1/2) corresponds to Dirac spinor representation and (1/2,1/2) is vector representation, but in P.Ramond's book "Field Theory - A Modern Primer" I read (1/2,0)*(0,1/2)=(1/2,1/2), obviously I...

    Why Are Quarks and Leptons Grouped in the Antisymmetric Representation of SU(5)?

    Dear PF, I have very simple question, it is due to my poor understanding of group theory. WhY in antisymmetric 5*5 representation of SU(5) (there are 10 states) one puts quarks and leptons, since having product of two SU(5) fundamental representations we get a composed antisymmetric ten...

    Understanding Particle Poles in Amplitude Expressions: Explained

    Gents I have one question: If I have expresion for amplitude of some process and this amplitude has pole, I say I have particle caryring such features (suppose mass that makes this pole), if I change some parameters in expression for amplitude and if I get another pole, I say in this case...

    Understanding Renormalization in Quantum Field Theory

    One help needed please Gents, I am not familiar with physics and that's why my questions may seem stupid for you, but could you pls help me and explain the Idea of formula 7.27 in attached file from Halzen F., Martin A.D. Quarks and leptons. Does not the e_R tends to infinity when M^2 goes to...

    Understanding Renormalization in Quantum Field Theory

    When was reading about renormalization I did no understand the main Idea of the last :(:confused: It has been considered photon propagator with virtual pair of electron/pozitron. Takeing that loop integral the M^2 cuttoff is introduced, which tends then to ininifity, M^2 is "sopped up" in...

    Currents & Multiplets: Understanding the Algebra of SU(N)

    Dear Gents, I have one question: Can I say that if I I have some currents, charges form these currents (integrals over time components) and these charges form a close algebra of some group SU (N), then I say that the particles sitting in these currents (all possible incoming/outgoing...

    What is the propagation amplitude of a particle in QFT?

    Hola everybody, this is my first visit to PF. Can anyone help me please...my question is from QFT textbook phi(x)|0> is creation of particle at position x, being in superposition of momenum states - - - - correct? <0|phi(y) is birth of particle at position y. So if I consider both expressions...
