Time-ordered exponential on the complex plane and Gell-Mann -- Low formula as a mathematical theorem
Abstract
The time-ordered exponential representation of a complex time evolution operator in the interaction picture is studied. Using the complex time evolution, we prove the Gell-Mann -- Low formula under certain abstract conditions, in mathematically rigorous manner. We apply the abstract results to quantum electrodynamics with cutoffs.
