Worldline Green Functions for Arbitrary Feynman Diagrams
Abstract
Description
We propose a general method to obtain the scalar worldline Green function on an arbitrary 1D topological space, with which the first-quantized method of evaluating 1-loop Feynman diagrams can be generalized to calculate arbitrary ones. The electric analog of the worldline Green function problem is found and a compact expression for the worldline Green function is given, which has similar structure to the 2D bosonic Green function of the closed bosonic string.
