A General Expression for Symmetry Factors of Feynman Diagrams

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

The calculation of the symmetry factor corresponding to a given Feynman diagram is well known to be a tedious problem. We have derived a simple formula for these symmetry factors. Our formula works for any diagram in scalar theory (ϕ3\phi^3 and ϕ4\phi^4 interactions), spinor QED, scalar QED, or QCD.
