The dated cover establishes Trinity Term 2018, despite the containing bundle's 2017 filename. Use <natural units>, the <Minkowski metric> $g=\operatorname{diag}(1,-1,-1,-1)$ and the <Feynman i-epsilon prescription>. In question 1(a), $D=4-\epsilon$ and $e_D=\mu^{\epsilon/2}e$. The supplied transverse <photon propagator> selects <Landau gauge> within the Lorenz-gauge family. In question 2(a), distinguish the kernels in the stated <generating functional> from time-ordered <Wick contractions>, as explained below.
