Assignments:

Assignment 1: Problem 3.5 (complex scalar field)

Assignment 2: Problem 11.4 (tree level scattering amplitude)

Assignment 3: Problem 14.6 (renormalization of complex scalar)

Assignment 4: Write down the amplitude $i \mathcal{T}$ for Figure 51.4, in the theory defined in Eq. (45.1)

Assignment 5: Calculate the terms in $\frac{1}{4}\sum_{s_1,s_2,\lambda’_1,\lambda’_2}|\mathcal T|^2$ which contains $\frac{1}{(m^2-t)(m^2-u)}$ for the process in Figure 59.1.
