The most general expression for P(2)(t) which is quadratic in E(t) isor in Cartesian notationIt can easily be proved by decomposition of T(2) into symmetric and antisymmetric parts and permutation of dummy variables (α, τ1) and (β, τ2), that T(2) can be reduced to its symmetric part, satisfyingFrom time invarianceCausality demands that R(2)(τ1, τ2) cancels for either τ1 or τ2 negative while R(2) is real. Intrinsic permutation symmetry implies that Rμαβ(2)(τ1, τ2) is invariant by interchange of (α, τ1) and (β, τ2) pairs.
