Wick Theorem and Hopf Algebra Structure in Causal Perturbative Quantum Field Theory

We consider the general framework of perturbative quantum field theory for the pure Yang–Mills model. We give a more precise version of the Wick theorem using Hopf algebra notations for chronological products and not for Feynman graphs. Next, we prove that the Wick expansion property can be preserve...
