We now calculate the expectation value
Once more only the field-even part of the action will yield a non-zero result, so that we have
Using the form of
shown in
Equation (A.3), and if we already replace the expectation values
of squared fields by
or
whenever possible, as
well as replace
by
, we get
We may now use the known value of the expectation value of the squared sum. From Appendix B, Equation (B.14), we get
We may also use the fact that it can be shown that
also found in Appendix B, Equations (B.8), (B.10) and (B.12), in order to write for our expectation value
Next we group all terms containing
and
simplify to get
The sum over can now be done in all terms in the first group,
yielding
We must now perform the sum indicated. This is easily done using Fourier transforms. From Appendix B, Equation (B.4), we get
which is expressed as a Fourier transform, with the general structure of a two-point function. We have therefore the final result,
