X-B@3#eq:Hessian
Compactly supported integration by parts gives
The free action has , hence
The positive Euler coefficient is not the variational Hessian. Using as the inverse of would reverse the response and violate the normalization sheet.
For a quadratic insertion as in (A1), the classical retarded response of is
This also follows by differentiating the retarded solution of .
