Resumen:
In this work we will will use a recently developednon relativistic (NR) quantization methodology that successfully overcomes troubles with infinities that plague non-renormalizable quantum field theories (QFTs) [see Annals of Physics {f 412}, 168013 (2020)]. The ensuing methodology is here applied to Newton´s gravitation potential.More precisely, in the cited reference one makes full use of a new mathematical theory, whose results were reported in [J. Phys. Comm. {f 2} 115029 (2018)]. We employ here the concomitant mathematical apparatus to formulate the NR QFT discussed in the well known classical text-book by Fetter and Walecka. We emphasize the fact that we speak of an non relativistic QFT. This is so because we appeal to Newton´s gravitational potential, while in a relativistic QFT one does not employ potentials. Our main protagonist is the notion of propagator. This notion is of the essence in non relativistic quantum field theory (NR-QFT). Indeed, propagators are indispensable tools for both nuclear physics and condensed matter theory, among other disciplines. In the present work we deal with propagators for both fermions and bosons.
