Quantum Interaction φ44: the Construction of Quantum Field defined as a Bilinear Form
Abstract
We construct the solution φ(t, x) of the quantum wave equation φ + m2φ + λ:\!\!φ3\!\!: = 0 as a bilinear form which can be expanded over Wick polynomials of the free in-field, and where :\!φ3(t, x)\!: is defined as the normal ordered product with respect to the free in-field. The constructed solution is correctly defined as a bilinear form on Dθ× Dθ, where Dθ is a dense linear subspace in the Fock space of the free in-field. On Dθ× Dθ the diagonal Wick symbol of this bilinear form satisfies the nonlinear classical wave equation.
