Due Date: July 14, 2021. Due Time: 11:00 a.m. (Maximum)
Solve all problems. You can discuss with each other and consult any book you like. The cheating
will not be tolorated. You have to submit the scanned copy in the PDF format.
1. Compute 0 φ̄2 0 with Z

φ̄ = d3 xφ (x, t)
V
and V is a sphiereial region of radius R around the origin. Show that for
~  mc 2
R> , 0 φ̄2 0 <
mc ~
~
so that the vacuum fluctuations become important for distance smaller than mc
, which is the Compton wavelength
associated with particle of mass m.
2. Angular momentum is defined as Z
Mµν = d3 x (xµ Tν0 − xν Tµ0 ) .

For a scalar field φ (x) verify that


i [Mµν , φ] = xµ ∂ν φ − xν ∂µ φ
where
∂L
T µν = a
∂ ν φa − g µν L
∂ (∂µ φ )

L = ∂λ φ∂ λ φ − m2 φ2 .

3. Consider the interaction Hamiltonian density HI = 3!µ φ3 + 4!λ φ4 . Draw all possible Feynman diagrams for the
(2)
matrix elements Sba , with |ai = |π 0 (p1 ) π 0 (p2 )i and hb| = hπ 0 (k1 ) π 0 (k2 ) π 0 (k3 )| to order λ2 , λµ and µ2 . Write
the corresponding matrix elements. Also write the relevant term in the Wick expansion. What is the order of
the diagram?
g 3
4. Consider the interaction Hamiltonian HI = 3!
φ. Use D = 6 − 2ε and solve using Dimensional regularization.

• For the one loop self energy diagram, one can write the operator as

Π k 2 = k 2 − m2 Z3−1 − 1 + m2 (Zm − 1) + finite terms


  

find Z3−1 and Zm .


• Draw the vertex diagram and regularize it. Z1−1 − 1 is the coefficient of −ig. Find Z1−1 .

Hint: For the vertex part, you can put all the external momenta equal to zero to extract the most divergent part. The
renormalization constants come out to be
5g 2 1 g2 1 g2 1
Zm = 1 + , Z3−1 = 1 − , Z1−1 = 1 − .
