 Mostly-plus Dirac propagator with a real derivative kernel

For action $-\int \bar{\psi }(\gamma \cdot \partial +m)\psi$, choose gamma matrices with $\{{\gamma }^{\mu },{\gamma }^{\nu }\}=2{\eta }^{\mu \nu }$ and signature $(-,+,\dots ,+)$. The Fourier kernel of $D=\gamma \cdot \partial +m$ is $i\gamma \cdot p+m$. Its algebraic inverse is $(-i\gamma \cdot p+m)/(p^2+m^2)$. The Grassmann Gaussian integral for $e^{-i\bar{\psi }D\psi }$ has covariance $-i{D}_F^{-1}$, giving the displayed Dirac propagator. Its denominator has positive-energy poles below and negative-energy poles above the real energy axis by the Feynman i-epsilon prescription. Both the metric and the factor of $i$ in the derivative kernel must be specified when comparing propagator formulas.
