# It was Greta Garbo, not Marlene Dietrich!

Update: February 2, 2009

I have updated this errata list only sporadically since 2006. In any case, You are still welcome to send in any errors, typographical or otherwise, that you notice (in the format specified below.) Please check to see if your errata are not already listed here.

One thing that is useful for me to know is how complete the index is. If there are items in the index that you feel should be there but are not, please let me know. (For example, I looked up "covariant derivative" in the index and it was not there.) Most people do not know that the index is not prepared by the author but by a professional index compiler who often knows almost nothing about the subject of the book.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who sent in errata, particularly those who also posted a favorable "Customer Review" on Amazon.com. Appreciative words from readers make the enormous effort that went into writing a book like this worthwhile.

*********

Errors, typographical and otherwise, in Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell are listed here. Readers who find errors are urged to bring them to my attention by email (zee@kitp.ucsb.edu) using for subject "nutshell errata" so that your email does not get treated as spam by the filter on my mailer. I would appreciate it if you would write them in exactly the same format as used here, including the (Thanks to ABC). Notation: Line –n means line n from the bottom of the page. Please check to see if the errata you found are not already listed here.

I apologize to all those who sent in errata during academic year 2006-07. I was away on sabbatical at Harvard and did not know how to update my web site remotely. In any case, the stream of errata had thinned to a trickle. If you feel that the erratum you sent in is particularly serious, please email me again. Thanks. Also, a Clarifications page has been added.

## "Of making books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh." -- Ecclesiastes 12:12

p66: In the simplified calculation of the Casimir effect, the 24 in eq (19) is the same 24 that appears in string theory! (24+2=26=the dimension of spacetime the quantum bosonic string must live in.)
p117: The line uttered by Greta Garbo came from the film Ninotchka (1939). (Thanks to Amanda Weltman) INCORRECT: The film is Grand Hotel (1932) which I do not particularly recommend. Contrary to what was written on the bottom of this page, in the film she did say "I want to be alone." All of this harping on a triviality stems from a book by Gamow that I read as a kid.

p309: The URL in footnote 1 has been changed to http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/~jmf/Teaching/Lectures/EDC.pdf (Thanks to Philip Tanedo)

Errata

p11:In the expression directly after the phrase "Doing the integral over p, we get", a factor of 1/(2pi) from the normalization of the momentum space integral was dropped. This error then propagates down the rest of the page until (4). It is however immaterial because eventually it is just absorbed into the definition of Dq. (Thanks to Latham A. Boyle)
p11: All of the products on this page should run from 1 to N-1 (but the sums should run from 0 to N-1). (Thanks to Latham A. Boyle)
p15: In Eq.(20), inside the square root, the factor 2*pi*hbar should be raised to the Nth power. (Thanks to Latham A. Boyle)
p16: A potential source of confusion: In the literature, the boundary condition on path integrals is conventionally not displayed explicitly but is understood implicitly. For example, the integral in (1) on p 16 actually differs from the integral in (6) on p 12. The attentive reader would find this point explained in the middle of p 12. (Thanks to Nikolas Akerblom)
p17: 2nd full paragraph, there is a sign error: 1st sentence should say: 2*q_a*q_b=q_a^2+q_b^2-(q_a-q_b)^2 (Thanks to Latham A. Boyle)
p18: 2nd full paragraph: Lorentz invariance allows V(phi) to be some general function of phi, e.g. cosh(phi)). I restricted myself to a polynomial at this point merely for the sake of simplicity. Later when we study renormalizability in (3+1)-dimensions V will have to be restricted to a polynomial. (Thanks to Latham A. Boyle)

p19: Section: "The vacuum" exp(-iHt) instead of exp(iHt) in the bracket. (Thanks to Adrian Chirila)
p23: In the second line above Eq.(23), the exponent of the formula "i(\omega_k t - kx)" should be "-i(\omega_k t - kx)". (Thanks to Sung-Soo Kim)
p26: In the line just above Eq.(6), "iW=iET" should be "iW=-iET".(Thanks to Sung-Soo Kim)
p27: In the equation for Z(J): should have (iW(J))^n, opening parenthesis missing. (Thanks to Sho Yaida)
p33: In the fifth line below Eq.(12), "Appendix C" should be "Appendix B".(Thanks to Sung-Soo Kim)
p40: After (3), "make" should be "made". (Thanks to Pierre Jouvelot)
p43: -line 15: 3! in the denominator should be indeed replaced by 2(6!). (Thanks to Seunghun Hong, Mike Mowbray, and Joshua Feinberg)

p43: line 9: the denominator should contain (4!)^2 instead of (4!)^3 (Thanks to Jean Orloff) INCORRECT: The numerical factor stated in the book is in fact correct. Thanks to the many readers who sent in this anti-erratum.
p44: In Figure I.7.2, a diagram consisting of three straight lines and one vacuum bubble containing two vertices is missing. (Thanks to Sho Yaida)

p44: In Figure I.7.2, a diagram consisting of one straight line and two crossed lines with a loop on one leg, is missing. (Thanks to John Cummings and Jim Napolitano and
Caterina Soldano)

p44: In Figure I.7.2, six diagrams are missing. (There should be a total of thirteen.) All are diagrams that are, or should be, in Figure I.7.3, plus one straight line. (Thanks to Jim Napolitano.)

p44: Figure I.7.2 misses 2 more diagrams, constructed by adding a disconnected line to the graphs (a) and (b) of fig I.7.3 (Thanks to Jean Orloff)
p45: In Figure I.7.3, a diagram consisting of two straight lines and one vacuum bubble containing two vertices is missing. (Thanks to Sho Yaida)

p45: In Figure I.7.3, two diagrams, each consisting of two straight lines and one vacuum bubble containing two vertices, are missing. (There are two ways to make a vacuum bubble with two vertices.) Also missing is a diagram with three straight lines, one of which has a vacuum bubble attached which also has an internal vertex. (Thanks to Jim Napolitano.)
p45: In the expression for G^{(4)}, the integral should be multiplied by -\lamda/(4! Z(0,0) and the right hand side of the equality should be (-7!! \lamda)/(4! m^8) . (Thanks to Latham A. Boyle, Chung-Pin Chou, and Pierre Jouvelot)
p47: In (9) there is an implicit sum over i_1, …, i_s, with each index running over 1, …, N independently. (Thanks to Sho Yaida & Chih-Hao Fu & Kevin C. W. Lai)
p47: equation (10): I intentionally omitted the disconnected diagrams of order lamda were omitted since they were to be introduced later. (Thanks to Latham A. Boyle)

p48:In Eq.(12), there should be no Z(0,0) in the first line, while the second line is correct.(Thanks to Xining Du)
p48: equation (13): both expressions on the RHS of the equal sign should be integrated over dx_1*dx_2*...*dx_s. (Thanks to Latham A. Boyle)

p51 - p52: I intentionally left out the i's associated with D(x_1-x_2) for brevity. The Feynman rules have these i's included correctly. (Thanks to Latham A. Boyle)
p50: Second line after (17), “by (i/4!)” should be “by -(i/4!)”. (Thanks to Sho Yaida)
p51: In the second line following (19), (4!)^2 should be (4!)^3. (Thanks to Pierre Jouvelot)
p55: In Figure I.7.9 an arrow mark for the line marked k_4 is missing. (Thanks to Sho Yaida)
p55: Third line below Eq(21), Figure I.7.5 should read Figure I.7.9. (Thanks to Sung-Soo Kim)
p62: 3 lines after (4), the ket for |0> doesn't use the proper font. (Thanks to Pierre Jouvelot)
p63: In the last line, (I.3.20) should be (I.3.22). (Thanks to Sho Yaida)

p63: In the first line of Eq.(9), "L" should be "{\cal L}", that is, Lagrangian density instead of Lagrangian. Either that, or take it outside the brackets inside the integral. (Thanks to Jim Napolitano.)
p64: In the fifth line, Exercise I.8.2 should be Exercise I.8.3. (Thanks to Sho Yaida)
p65: The expression following "the energy per unit area between the plates is changed to” needs a factor 1/2. (Thanks to Xuguang Huang)
p68: The operators that appear in the second (unnumbered) equation on p.68 should be Schrödinger operators. Then, multiplied by the exponents of the Hamiltonians, they are mapped into Heisenberg operators as appears in eqs. (21) and (22). Also, in eq. 22, e^(-iHT) should either be included in the time ordering operation, or put on the left. (Thanks to Charles H. Henry and Joshua Feinberg)
p68: The operators that appear in the second (unnumbered) equation on p.68 should be Schrödinger operators. Then, multiplied by the exponents of the Hamiltonians, they are mapped into Heisenberg operators as appears in eqs. (21) and (22). Also, in p69: In the right hand side of the last equation of Exercise I.8.5, "!" should be "i".(Thanks to Sung-Soo Kim)
p69: prob. I.8.4, 5th line: superfluous dot before the word "creates". (Thanks to Andy Tenne-Sens)

p69 line -2: Ann Phys 288:103 (2001) (Thanks to A. Anabalon & Jim Napolitano)

p71: In the third line below the "Continuous Symmetries" heading, there is an extraneous colon (":") before "so that...". (Thanks to Jim Napolitano.)
P74: In the last sentence right before the Exercises is a statement [Q,\phi]=\phi. The Q here is evidently defined with a minus sign compared to the Q in exercise I.8.4. (Thanks to Seunghun Hong)

p79 line7: The subscript on (E x B) should be i, not k. (Thanks to Nikolai von Boetticher)
p79: In the second paragraph in the Appendix, there is a closing parenthesis that is not needed. (Thanks to Sho Yaida)

p 91: Typographical problem throughout: 1st line of the Cousins of the gamma matrices section, it is important to distinguish the order of indices on Lambda as Lambda^nu_mu. (Thanks to Parsa Bonderson)
p92:The two mentions of the Lorentz transformation in exponential form are missing a factor of i in the exponent, as is included on the following page: exp{-1/2 \omega_{\mu\nu} J^{\mu\nu}} should be exp{-i/2\omega_{\mu\nu} J^{\mu\nu}}. (Thanks to Sung-Soo Kim and Ryan Springall)
p96: 5 lines after (24), "that the they" should read "that they". (Thanks to Pierre Jouvelot)
p98: Ettore Majorana (1906-1938). In footnote 2, “twenties” should read “early thirties”. (Thanks to Frank Reashore)
p102: There is a missing ] at the end of the text of Exercise II.1.1
p103: Last line, N|0> =|0> should be N|0>=0. (Thanks to Sung-Soo Kim)
p105: footnote, the reference should read Relativistic Quantum Mechanics instead of Relative Quantum Mechanics. (Thanks to Istok Mendas)
p106: After (14), it seems that +(-)ipx (with arrows) should be -(+)px in order to be superficially consistent with (10) but nothing is affected since the pvector can be rotated. (Thanks to Pierre Jouvelot)

p112: An i is missing on the LHS in (5) and (6). J and K are defined by the action of rotation and boost on (t,x,y,z) as given by E^(i (real parameter) J or K). (Thanks to Adam Brown, Joshua Feinberg, and Fred Kuttner)

p122: line 4: Fig. I.7.7 should be Fig. I.7.12. (Thanks to Latham Boyle)

p136: \Gamma_{\lambda\nu} should be \Gamma_\lambda^\nu. (Thanks to Pierre Jouvelot)
p138: The need for a tr operation on closed fermion loops is self-evident and is needed for the spinor indices to completely match upbut this fact was not explicitly stated in the Feynman rules given on page 127. It is however somewhat implicit in the discussion on pages 125-126. (Thanks to Pierre Jouvelot)

p152: In the equation for M at the top of the page, the integrand should be 1/D^2. (Thanks to Jim Napolitano.)
p152: In the line before (12), (1-\alpha)k^2 should be (1-\alpha)K^2. (Thanks to Pierre Jouvelot)
