# Wick's theorem
This file contrains the time-dependent version of Wick's theorem
for lists of fields containing both fermions and bosons.
Wick's theorem is related to Isserlis' theorem in mathematics.

remark wicks_theorem_context := "
In perturbation quantum field theory, Wick's theorem allows
us to expand expectation values of time-ordered products of fields in terms of normal-orders
and time contractions.
The theorem is used to simplify the calculation of scattering amplitudes, and is the precurser
to Feynman diagrams.
There is are actually three different versions of Wick's theorem used.
The static version, the time-dependent version, and the normal-ordered time-dependent version.
HepLean contains a formalization of all three of these theorems in complete generality for
mixtures of bosonic and fermionic fields.
The statement of these theorems for bosons is simplier then when fermions are involved, since
one does not have to worry about the minus-signs picked up on exchanging fields."

For a list `φs` of `𝓕.FieldOp`, Wick's theorem states that
`𝓣(φs) = ∑ φsΛ, φsΛ.wickTerm`
where the sum is over all Wick contraction `φsΛ`.
The proof is via induction on `φs`.
- The base case `φs = []` is handled by `wickTerm_empty_nil`.
The inductive step works as follows:
For the LHS:
1. `timeOrder_eq_maxTimeField_mul_finset` is used to write
`𝓣(φ₀…φₙ)` as ` 𝓢(φᵢ,φ₀…φᵢ₋₁) • φᵢ * 𝓣(φ₀…φᵢ₋₁φᵢ₊₁φₙ)` where `φᵢ` is
the maximal time field in `φ₀…φₙ`
2. The induction hypothesis is then used on `𝓣(φ₀…φᵢ₋₁φᵢ₊₁φₙ)` to expand it as a sum over
Wick contractions of `φ₀…φᵢ₋₁φᵢ₊₁φₙ`.
3. This gives terms of the form `φᵢ * φsΛ.timeContract` on which
`mul_wickTerm_eq_sum` is used where `φsΛ` is a Wick contraction of `φ₀…φᵢ₋₁φᵢ₊₁φ`,
to rewrite terms as a sum over optional uncontracted elements of `φsΛ`
On the LHS we now have a sum over Wick contractions `φsΛ` of `φ₀…φᵢ₋₁φᵢ₊₁φ` (from 2) and optional
uncontracted elements of `φsΛ` (from 3)
For the RHS:
1. The sum over Wick contractions of `φ₀…φₙ` on the RHS
is split via `insertLift_sum` into a sum over Wick contractions `φsΛ` of `φ₀…φᵢ₋₁φᵢ₊₁φ` and
sum over optional uncontracted elements of `φsΛ`.
Both side now are sums over the same thing and their terms equate by the nature of the
lemmas used.
