Operator functions of the pion field operator

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

We give a method for evaluating matrix elements in a bare particle representation of arbitrary operator functions of the pion field operator, with special reference to the functions arising from the equivalence transformation of the leptonic and electromagnetic couplings of nucleons.

Riassunto

Diamo un metodo per calcolare gli elementi di matrice in una rappresentazione in termini di particelle nude di funzioni operatrici arbitrarie dell’operatore di campo del pione, con speciale riferimento alle funzioni che nascono dalla trasformazione equivalente degli accoppiamenti leptonici ed elettromagnetici dei nucleoni.
