Path integral with initial definite momentum

Generally, in path integral formalism a propagator between two states with definite position is computed, something like,$$K(x_1,t_1;x_0,t_0)=int_{x_0(t_0)}^{x_1(t_1)}mathcal{D}x(t)expleft(frac{i}{hbar}S[x(t)]right).$$However, if we want a propagator between two states, where the...

Pressure difference along horizontal in accelerated fluids

In accelerated fluids, fluid in a container can orient itself in a direction due to acceleration. In that case, pressure at different heights (at the surface) is same (atm). Then...

OPE in linear dilaton theory

I'm trying to do the following question from David Tong's problem sheets on string theory:A theory of a free scalar field has OPE $$partial X(z)partial X(w) = frac{alpha'}{2}frac{1}{(z-w)^2}+...$$ Consider...

Calculating forces via Feynman diagrams?

How would one go about calculating forces that test objects feel using Feynman diagram methods? For example, say we have a massive object in GR so that the metric takes...

Damped harmonic Oscillator Lagrangian equivalence

The objective is to prove that the Lagrangian:$$L'=frac{2dot x+lambda x}{2Omega x}tan^{-1}(frac{2dot x+lambda x}{2Omega x})-frac{1}{2}ln(dot x^2+lambda dot{x } x + omega^2x^2), qquad Omega=sqrt{omega^2-lambda^2/4},$$is equivalent to the lagrangian of...

Is idempotency, $rho^2=rho$, a necessary and sufficient condition for $rho$ to be a pure state?

I've seen some claims that idempotency ($rho^2=rho$) is necessary and sufficient to guarantee the existence of some state $psi$ such that $rho=|psiranglelanglepsi|$, as well as claims on...

Apsidal precession

There is the formula: $$ Deltatheta=-2frac{partial}{partial p_{theta}}left[int_{r_{min}}^{r_{max}}sqrt{2muleft(E-V_{eff}right)}drright] $$ That indicates the change in angle for the perihelion (in the case of the Earth and the Sun) in one radial...
