10 Bound State Perturbation Theory We have now solved exactly a number of quantum mechanical problems. Systems of physical inter ...

10.1 The validity of perturbation theory We shall address two questions here. First, in which physical problems can we expect to ...

a famous MIT/SLAC experiment. Theoretically, asymptotic freedom was found to be a generic property of non-Abelian gauge theories ...

Here we have absorbed various constants (such as ̄h,m) intoωandλ. The integralI(ω,λ) retains just the basic structure of the pat ...

the integral for negative but smallλwould be well-defined and finite. So, the fact that the integral is divergent for any negati ...

assuming that the state|E^0 n〉is normalized. The equation determining the first order cor- rection to the state are obtained by ...

10.3 Some linear algebra It will be useful to analyze in a little more detail the procedure for solving equation (10.19) above, ...

Thus, we conclude thatb∈RangeAif and only if (v,b) = 0 for all v∈KerA (10.30) If this condition is satisfied, equation (10.25) a ...

We will now use these projectors to decompose the eigenvalueequation (10.47). Inserting the identity in front of the state gives ...

Note that the eigenstates that are being determined by this eigenvalue equation are the ones to lowest order. They must be eigen ...

This formula may be rendered more explicit by introducing a complete set of orthonormalized eigenstates ofH 0 belonging toH 1 , ...
