Parallelism between quantum density matrix and a probability distribution in classical mechanics

In quantum statistical mechanics we often define a density matrix as $rho = sum_{i} p_{i} | Psi_{i} rangle langle Psi_{i} | $. Its time volution is determined by the...

Is it incorrect to assume the Christoffel symbol symmetry (with respect to the lower indices) for a curved space-time?

The Christoffel symbols are symmetric with respect to the lower indices. This property is based on the geometric condition of path independence of the incremental vector. (Geometry of the flat...

Question about Weinberg QFT Vol. 1 Eq. 6.1.14

In Weinberg QFT Vol. 1 Eq. 6.1.14, he defines the propagator for a fermion to be$$ theta(x-y){psi^+(x),psi^+{}^dagger(y)} - theta(x-y){psi^-{}^dagger(x),psi^-(y)}$$where $psi^+$ annihilates particles, and $psi^-$ creates...
