The Wick rotation provides the standard technique of computing Feynman diagrams by means of Euclidean propagators. Let us suppose that quantum fields in an interaction zone are really Euclidean. In contrast with the well-known Euclidean…

In this work we provide a new direct and non-numerical technique to obtain the surface Green's functions for three-dimensional systems. This technique is based on the ideas presented in Phys. Rev. B 100, 081106(R), in which we start with an…

The one-dimensional time-independent Green's function $G_0$ of a quantum simple harmonic oscillator system ($V_0(x)=m \omega^2 x^2/2$) can be obtained by solving the equation directly. It has a compact expression, which gives correct…

We consider a theory of fermions interacting with a (in general, non-Abelian) gauge field. The theory is assumed to be essentially inhomogeneous, which might be provided by non-trivial background fields interacting with both fermions and…
