I have a few issues in understanding Weinberg's proof of the Goldstone boson theorem (page 170, vol II):
Equation 19.2.18: why is the (2π)−3 instead of (2π)−4, isn't this a term originating from the Fourier transform?
Equation 19.2.19 and 19.2.20 where is the δ4(p−pN) coming from, isn't he only introducing an identity term by summing over all the states?
Equation 19.2.22: why is θ(p0) necessary for the states to be physical? Is it to have them be in the future instead of the past?
In the equation between 19.2.31 and 19.2.32: I don't understand where has the θ(p0) gone, and why has appeared the term √p2+μ2. My guess for the square root is to come from the 0 component of the derivative but then I don't understand why is it √p2+μ2 instead of √p2, I thought that the μ was just a change of variable for p but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Any help is deeply appreciated
