1) The document discusses basic practice calculations involving scalar fields in quantum field theory, including evaluating vacuum-to-vacuum transition matrices. 2) It presents the path integral formulation for evaluating these matrices in the absence of self-interaction terms, and how inserting an exponential potential operator handles self-interaction terms. 3) Notation is introduced for representing terms involving sources, propagators, and derivatives in a clear way when evaluating expressions like the vacuum-to-vacuum transition matrix with self-interactions.

2 Basic Practice Calculations Involving Scalar Fields
Let us do some basic practice calculations here. Conveniently, we take the scalar field as
subject for the said calculations in relevance to quantum field theories involving vacuum-
to-vacuum matrices whose forms can be given by
(19.1)
⟨0| 𝑈1(𝑇)|0⟩
The basic quantum field interpretation of these matrices is that they give probability
amplitudes that the particles (initially) in the vacuum state |0⟩ at an initial time (say, 𝑡 =
0) will still be (found) in the vacuum state at a later time 𝑇 > 0.
The time-evolution operator (teo) here 𝑈1(𝑇) comes with a system Hamiltonian 𝐻[ 𝐽( 𝑡) ]
containing time-dependent source 𝐽( 𝑡). (System Hamiltonian as obtained from the system
Lagrangian through Legendre transformation. We shall present the basic review details of
this transformation in the concluding portions of this draft. )
(19.2)
𝑈1( 𝑇) = 𝑈1( 𝑇,0) = 𝑒𝑥𝑝(−
𝑖
ℏ
∫ 𝑑𝑡 𝐻(𝑡)
𝑇
0
)
As an emphasis, we are starting with a system (Lagrangian) that does not contain yet self-
interaction terms. These terms are generated with the application of potential operator
𝑉(𝜑̂). (Note that (19.2) is an operator although we haven’t put a hat on the Hamiltonian
operator, 𝐻(𝑡). We will only put a hat on operators in situations where we are compelled
to do so in order to avoid confusion. )
In the absence of the said self-interaction terms, the (19.1) matrices can be evaluated via
Path Integrations (PI’s) although the evaluation of these matrices can be quite easily
facilitated by putting them in their factored form](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/fieldtheoryhighlights2015setb-171027160202/85/Fieldtheoryhighlights2015-setb-1-320.jpg)
![(19.3)
⟨0| 𝑈1(𝑇)|0⟩ = 𝐶 [ 𝐽 = 0 ] 𝑒𝑖 𝑆𝑐 / ℏ
where 𝐶[ 𝐽 = 0] is considered as a constant factor that can be evaluated directly

As can be seen in the result this constant matrix comes with the ground state energy, 𝐸0

.
(We shall also give review details of this result in the later parts of this document.)
In the later portions of this draft, we shall also provide the necessary details of expressing
the classical action 𝑆𝑐 involved in (19.3) as a functional of the sources as this action is to
be given by
(19.5)
𝑆𝑐 =

𝑥 𝑑4
𝑦 𝐽( 𝑥) 𝐺( 𝑥 − 𝑦) 𝐽(𝑦)
The classical action given by (19.5) as evaluated in terms of the sources 𝐽( 𝑥), 𝐽(𝑦) and
the Green’s function 𝐺( 𝑥 − 𝑦) which serves here as the propagator. This form follows
from the fact that the solution to the classical equation of motion in the presence of
sources can be expressed using the Green’s function and the source
(19.6)
𝜑( 𝐽, 𝑥) =
1
(2𝜋)2
∫ 𝑑4

(We shall also give basic calculation details of this in the later continuing drafts.)
When the system (with its given Lagrangian) does indeed involve self-interaction terms
the exponential potential operator](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/fieldtheoryhighlights2015setb-171027160202/85/Fieldtheoryhighlights2015-setb-2-320.jpg)

(It is important to show the details of arriving at (20.2) but we do this in the later portions

We can easily evaluate (20.2) using Path Integral so as to express this matrix in terms of
the derivative operator with respect to the given source

Here, the bracket 〈 𝐽𝑥 𝐺𝑥𝑧 𝐽𝑧〉 means double four-spacetime integrations involving two
sources 𝐽( 𝑥) and 𝐽(𝑧), and a propagator 𝐺( 𝑥 − 𝑧) in coordinate spacetime.
As a specific case in this draft let us take the cubic self-interactions](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/fieldtheoryhighlights2015setb-171027160202/85/Fieldtheoryhighlights2015-setb-3-320.jpg)
![(21.1)
𝑉[ 𝜑( 𝑥, 𝐽)] =

In my notation, I write
(21.2)
𝑆 𝐶
𝑛[ 𝐽 ] = ∏〈 𝐽𝑥 𝐺𝑥𝑧 𝐽𝑧 〉𝑖
𝑛−1
𝑖=0
where 𝑖 is specified on both x and z. Meaning,
(21.3)
〈 𝐽𝑥 𝐺𝑥𝑧 𝐽𝑧 〉𝑖 = 〈 𝐽(𝑥(𝑖)

Note here that 𝑆 𝐶
𝑛
involves 2𝑛 J’s. For 𝜑3( 𝑥, 𝐽) I shall also write this as
(21.4)
𝜑3( 𝑥, 𝐽) = ∏〈 𝐺𝑥𝑧 𝐽𝑧 〉 𝑗

𝑗=0
where 𝑗 is specified on z only.
When there is a need to take the derivative with respect to the source I shall specify the
replacement
(21.5)
𝜑( 𝑥) → 𝑖ℏ

Now, for (21.1) we write this as
(21.6)
𝑉[ 𝜑( 𝑥, 𝐽)] =

3!
𝑔(3) ∏〈 𝐺𝑥𝑧 𝐽𝑧 〉 𝑗

𝑗=0
and so it follows that](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/fieldtheoryhighlights2015setb-171027160202/85/Fieldtheoryhighlights2015-setb-4-320.jpg)
