## Minor corrections (Unimportant errors in equations)

p. 20, Eq. (2.65): There should be a factor of volume “V” multiplying the “½” in the Hamiltonian. Same correction applies to Eqs. (2.79), (2.96), (15.3) and (15.4).
p. 49, Eq (4.16): The factors of “e” should not be there in any of the terms.
p. 50, Eq (4.18): The factor of “e/2” after the first = sign should not be there.
p. 138, Problem 8.4: This problem is extremely difficult. See Greiner and Reinhardt “Field Quantization” Chapter 7 for a solution. A more reasonable problem is to calculate the propagator for a photon in a physical gauge, such as axial gauge, A0 = 0.
p. 149 Eq. (9.42) and p. 150 Eqs. (9.44) and (9.45): There is a missing factor of (2π)4 on the right-hand side of all of these equations.
p. 179, Eq. (10.131): The matrix in this equation should be negated to be consistent with Eq. (10.134). That is, the top row should be 0 -1 and the bottom row 1 0.
p. 181, Problem 10.1(b): The expression “(HD + e A0)2” should be “(HD - e A0)2”.
p. 196, Discussion of intrinsic parities in Section 11.5.1 could be clearer. Here is a revised discussion.
p. 201,Line after Eq. (11.90): There should be a minus sign in the transformation of Aμ. That is, CPT sends, Aμ(x) -> - Aμ(-x).
p. 201, Eq. (11.91): There should be no i in the ψAψ term.
p. 221, Eq. (12.81): There should be no factor of “i” in the definition of D1 on the last line.
p. 264, Eq. (14.62): There is a missing factor of “Z0[0]” on both terms on the right hand side of the first equality. That is, “1/Z[0]” should be “Z0[0]/Z[0]” in two places.
p. 278, Eq. (14.132): The “+m” in the Dirac Lagrangian should be “-m”.
p. 278, First line below Eq. (114.132): “... represent any globally symmetric terms.” should be “... represent any locally symmetric terms.”.
p. 283 Problem 14.1: There are a few mistakes in Eq. (14.158). Corrections as follows:

p. 301, 3rd line of paragraph beginning “In Section 15.4…”: The inline equation should be “< φ4 > = − λ − ..” rather than “< φ 4 > = λ − ..”.
p. 324, First paragraph: The diagrams vanish, but not because there are an odd number of γ matrices. More simply, they must be proportional to the photon momentum, but Lorentz invariance (it is the only 4-vector around), but this momentum must vanish, by momentum conservation.
p. 334, Problem 16.3c: This problem should be asking about the total rate for π+π- → τ+τ- not π+π- → e+e-.
p. 336, First line on page: “with residue i” should not be there.
p. 344, First line after Eq. (19.34): There is an extra factor of p4 in the definition of Π(p2). The line should read: “Π(p2) is defined as the coefficient of i/p2 (-g μν − pμ pν/p2)” as it is on p. 349, second paragraph.
p. 346, Eq. (19.43): me should be mR.
p. 380, Eq. (20.44): Tr [ q1 S q2 S] should be Tr[ p3 S p4 S], as in Eq. (20.43).
p. 419: Eq. (23.3): The numerator on the right hand side should have written “eR2Π(p2) - δ3” instead of “eR2Π(p2)”.
p. 427, Eq. (23.31): The power of the β2 term should be 3, not 2.
p. 447, Fig. 23.2: The x-axis in the figure should have positive numbers (0.5, 0.55, etc.). Also the caption should read “... the value of λ6 (ΛL) goes to a constant value, entirely set by λ4 (ΛL) … “ instead of “... the value of λ6 (Λ) goes to a constant value, entirely set by λ4 (Λ) … “.
p. 457, Eq. (24.30): There is a missing factor of “i” on the left-hand side (“M” should be “i M”). Eq. (24.31) still follows, as it is the imaginary part of i times the Feynman propagator to which Eq. (24.25) applies.
p. 458, Eq. (24.34): There is a missing factor of (2π)4 on the right-hand side.
p. 459, Eq. (24.39): A factor of (2π)4δ4(p - q1 - q2)” is missing from the right-hand side.

p. 515, Above Eq. (25.27): Summing over colors gives Tr[TaTa] = N CF, not just CF as written. The extra factor of N is already included in the sum over colors at tree-level, so Eq. (26.27) is correct.
p. 524, Eq. (26.70): The -½ on the first line should be a -1, as in Eq. (19.54).
p. 532: The factors of “i E T” on the left-hand sides of Eqs. (26.113), (26.114) and (26.116) should be  “- i E T”. The  “e i H T” factor in Eq. (26.113) should be “e -i H T”. Also, below Eq. (26.116), it should be “E = - e2/4πR = V(R)”  instead of “E =  e2/4πR = V(R)”.

p. 581, Eq. (28.62): The left hand side should have “G[Aμ + Dμ, π − α]” instead o f “G[Aμ - Dμ, π − α]”. Also, on the right-hand side, “mA” should be squared in both instances.
p. 581, Eq. (28.64): The sign of the ghost mass term is wrong. The expression “-ξ mA2” in the last term should be “+ξ mA2
pp. 503-505: All instances of “N” should be “n” in this section. That is, W(N) should be W(n), A(N) should be A(n), etc.. The exception is the factor of N in the denominator in Eqs. (25.133) and (25.134) which are N=Nc, the number of colors. These N’s really are N’s.
p. 515, Above Eq. (25.27): Summing over colors gives Tr[TaTa] = N CF, not just CF as written. The extra factor of N is already included in the sum over colors at tree-level, so Eq. (26.27) is correct.
p. 524, Eq. (26.70): The -½ on the first line should be a -1, as in Eq. (19.54).

p. 538, Eq. (27.19): The σ’s in this equation should be barred.
p. 571, Eq. (28.31): One of the currents should have †. That is, “JμLJμL” should be “JμL†JμL”.
p. 571, Eq. (28.32): In the second term on the right-hand side, “γμγ5” should be “γμ (1-γ5)”.
p. 571, 4th line after Eq. (28.35): The transformation law for M should be “M → gR M gL” instead of “M → gL M gR”.
p. 581, Eq. (28.62): The left hand side should have “G[Aμ + Dμ, π − α]” instead o f “G[Aμ - Dμ, π − α]”. Also, on the right-hand side, “mA” should be squared in both instances.
p. 581, Eq. (28.64): The sign of the ghost mass term is wrong. The expression “-ξ mA2” in the last term should be “+ξ mA2
p. 586, Eq. (29.9): There is a factor of 2 missing and a few signs are wrong. Correction as follows:

p. 591, Eq (29.32): The “(t-mh2)” term in the denominator on the far right-hand side should not be squared.
p. 593, Eq. (29.36): The “g” on the far right on the first line, multiplying “YL B” should be a “g’”.
p. 600, Above Eq. (29.64): The expression for “ψR” should have a minus sign in the top component: “ψR = ( −iσ2 νR , νR)”.
p. 604, The fermions should have “L” superscripts in the first term in square brackets on the right-hand side.
p. 605, Second line: The process listed should be “s -> d e+e-”.
p. 605, Eq. (29.81): T3 was not applied. Correction as follows:

p. 607, Eq. (29.90): There should be no overall minus sign on the right-hand side.
p. 612, Eq. (29.109): The middle expression is incorrect. Instead of the factor of “2 ms” in the numerator, there should be a factor of “(2ms - mu - md)” in the denominator.
p. 627, Eq. (30.53): A term “½ (QR3 +QL3)MVαμν” should be added to the right-hand side.
p. 635, second paragraph: The last two sentences from this paragraph, “If such a gauge boson exists ... be very heavy (> 1016 GeV).” should be deleted.
p. 637, Eq. (30.93): The “a” superscripts on the last two F’s should be “b”’s.
p. 636, paragraph after Eq. (30.89), next to last line: The current experimental bound on the strong CP phase is “θ < 10−10”, not “θ < 10−12”.

And (d) Suppose we take a spin-up electron going in the +z direction and turn it around carefully with electric fields so that now it goes in the -z direction but is still spin up.

p. 322, Second paragraph, 4th line: “ logarithmic weakening of the Coulomb potential at large distances” should be “ logarithmic strengthening of the Coulomb potential at short distances.”
p. 329, Below Eq. (18.14): Reference to Chapter 9 should be a reference to Chapter 16.

p. 502, Second line below Eq. (25.120): It should read “rμΠμνabaxial = 0”. The “=0” is missing.
p. 566, Eq. (28.15): The variation should be ∂L/ ∂(∂μ π) instead of just ∂L/∂μ π.
p. 571, Eq. (28.33) and the line above Eq. (28.33): It should be “π → μ νμ” not “π → μ νe” in both cases (as in Eq. (23.34)).
p. 582, 5th line from bottom: “E>> m2” should be “E>> m”.
p. 602, Third paragraph: Reactor neutrinos are mostly electron anti-neutrinos and accelerator neutrinos are mostly muon neutrinos (not the other way around, as written).
p. 603, Eq. (29.74): One of the neutrinos should be an anti-neutrino.
p. 612, line after Eq. (29.111): There is an extra |dN|. That is, “|dN| < |dN| < 2.9 x 10-26 …” should be simply “|dN| < 2.9 x 10-26 …”.
p. 614, Last paragraph: Maximal means δ = π/2 not δ = π as written.
p. 627, Eq. (30.53): The “ 1/2 (QR3 - QL3 ) M5αμν” term on the right-hand side should have “ 1/2 (QR3+ QL3 ) MVαμν” added to it.
