What is it that Lagrangian density with only bilinear terms always corresponds to free field theory?


Is there an intuitive proof of this fact? (Maybe connected in some way to Central Limit Theorem?).



Answer



Because that way the Euler-Lagrange equations turn out to be linear and thus the superposition principle holds. Superposition principle means "free theory".
