# Wick Species
|
||
|
||
Note: There is very likely a much better name for what we here call a Wick Species.
|
||
|
||
A Wick Species is a structure containing the basic information needed to write wick contractions
|
||
for a theory, and calculate their corresponding Feynman diagrams.

<h2>Wick Species</h2>
|
||
|
||
To do perturbation theory for a quantum field theory, we need a quantum field theory, or
|
||
at least enough data from a quantum field theory to write down necessary constructions.
|
||
The first bit of data we need is a type of fields `𝓯`. We also need to know what fields
|
||
are dual to what other fields, for example in a complex scalar theory `φ` is dual to `φ†`.
|
||
We can encode this information in an involution `ξ : 𝓯 → 𝓯`.
|
||
<br><br>
|
||
The second bit of data we need is how the fields interact with each other. In other words,
|
||
a list of interaction vertices `𝓘`, and the type of fields associated to each vertex.
|
||
<br><br>
|
||
This necessary information to do perturbation theory is encoded in a `Wick Species`, which
|
||
we define as:
