\section{Klein-Gordon Equation}
A relativistic one particle Shr\"{o}dinger Equation: (Also describes acoustic phonons.)
$$\hbar^2 (-\partial_{ct}^2 +\nabla^2) \psi = M^2 c^2 \psi$$
$$-\hbar^2\partial^\mu\partial_\mu \psi = M^2c^2 \psi$$
\begin{enumerate}
\item Problems with K-G.
Problem: $|\psi|^2$ is no longer prob. density. Not conserved.
What is conserved? $\rho = i(\psi^* \dot{\psi} - \dot{\psi}^*\psi)$. However, this can be negative.
Also, energy have negative solutions.
Classical limit: $\ddot{\phi} = (c^2\nabla^2 -\frac{(Mc^2)^2}{\hbar^2})\phi \Longrightarrow \ddot{\phi} = (c^2\nabla^2 - \omega_{min}^2)\phi$
\item K-G arises in CM physics
\begin{enumerate}
\item $M=0$ case: $\ddot{\phi} = c^2 \nabla^2 \phi$. Dispersion relation: (Note, $c$ is the wave speed, not speed of light.)
$$\omega^2 = c^2 k^2$$
Arbitratily low frequency waves $\Longrightarrow$ ``acoustic limit''
\item $M\ne 0$ case: $\ddot{\phi} = (c^2\nabla^2 - \omega_{min}^2)\phi$. Dispersion relation: (``optical'' branches)
$$\omega^2 = c^2 k^2 + \omega_{min}^2$$
\item Nomenclature: gap.
\end{enumerate}
\item Quantizing K-G equation: $\ddot{\phi} = (\nabla^2 - m^2)\phi$
\begin{enumerate}
\item Action:
$$S[\phi(\mathbf{x},t)] = \int$$
\end{enumerate}
