In order to popularize the so called Schwinger's method we reconsider the Feynman propagator of two non-relativistic systems: a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field and a charged harmonic oscillator in a uniform magnetic field.…

A translation operator is introduced to describe the quantum dynamics of a position-dependent mass particle in a null or constant potential. From this operator, we obtain a generalized form of the momentum operator as well as a unique…

We develop a theory of Feynman propagators for the massive Klein--Gordon equation with asymptotically static perturbations. Building on our previous work on the causal propagators, we employ a framework based on propagation of singularities…

The well-known physical equivalence drawn from hole theory is applied in this article. The author suggests to replace, in the part of Feynman diagram which cannot be fixed by experiments, each fermion field operator, and hence fermion…

The Wightman two-point function of any Hadamard state of a linear quantum field theory determines a corresponding Feynman propagator. Conversely, however, a Feynman propagator determines a state only if certain positivity conditions are…

We consider transformations of the $2\times2$ propagator matrix in real-time finite-temperature field theory, resulting in transformed $n$--point functions. As special cases of such a transformation we examine the Keldysh basis, the…

Analytical properties of the photon propagator in QED3 in the N^1-approximation are considered. It is noticed that in given approximation if the dynamical fermions mass is nonzero this propagator has a single pole at the point k^2=0 and a…

The one- and the two-particle propagators for an infinite non-interacting Fermi system are studied as functions of space-time coordinates. Their behaviour at the origin and in the asymptotic region is discussed, as is their scaling in the…

We study the electron propagator in quantum electrodynamics in lower dimensions. In the case of free electrons, it is well known that the propagator in momentum space takes the simple form $S_F(p)=1/(\gamma\cdot p-m)$. In the presence of…

The Feynman propagator used in the conventional in-out formalism in quantum field theory is not a causal propagator as wave packets are propagated virtually instantaneously outside the causal region of the initial state. We formulate a…
