quantum field theory - LSZ reduction theorem derivation in Weinberg QFT


When deriving LSZ reduction theorem Weinberg in his QFT book have assumed n-point generalized Green functions, G(q1,...,qn)=d4x1...d4xneini=1qjxj|ˆT(ˆOl(x1)ˆA2(x2)...ˆAn(xn))|,(1)

where ˆOl(x) transforms under the irreducible representation of the Lorentz group as some free field ˆΨl(x). By insertion between ˆOl(x1) and ˆA2(x2) functional unit i,σd3p|(p,σ)i(p,σ)i|
and by allocation of one-particle states from it he have "reduced" (with some hints) (1) to the form G(q1,...,qn)f(q)σ|ˆOl(0)|(q1,σ)×


×d4x2...eiq2x2...(q1,σ)|ˆT(ˆA(x2)...)|δ(q1+...+qn).(2)

Here f(q) contains the pole of the first order 1q2m2iε and q=q1+...+qr.


After that he says that in (2) there is equality ˆOl(0)|(q1,σ)=1(2π)3Nuσl(q1)|.


So I have the question: why was factor N (in comparison with free field-like expression ˆOl(0)|(q1,σ)=1(2π)3uσl(q1)|) appeared? What is its physical sense? Is its appearance connected with the fact that | doesn't refer to the "usual" vacuum? Can you also comment this statement, if you please?
