Description

We correct an inaccurate result of previous work on the Feynman propagator in position space of a free Dirac field in (3 + 1)-dimensional spacetime;we derive the generalized analytic formulas of both the scalar Feynman propagator and the spinor Feynman propagator in position space in arbitrary (D + 1)dimensional spacetime; and we further find a recurrence relation among the spinor Feynman propagator in(D + 1)-dimensional spacetime and the scalar Feynman propagators in(D + 1)-, (D - 1)-and(D + 3)-dimensional spacetimes.
