QED effective action at finite temperature and density.
The QED effective action at finite temperature and density is calculated to all orders in an external homogeneous and time-independent magnetic field in the weak coupling limit. The free energy, obtained explicitly, exhibit the expected de Haas – van Alphen oscillations. An effective coupling at finite temperature and density is derived in a closed form and is compared with renormalization grou...
متن کاملQED Effective Action at Finite Temperature: Two-Loop Dominance
We calculate the two-loop effective action of QED for arbitrary constant electromagnetic fields at finite temperature T in the limit of T much smaller than the electron mass. It is shown that in this regime the two-loop contribution always exceeds the influence of the one-loop part due to the thermal excitation of the internal photon. As an application, we study light propagation and photon spl...
متن کاملDecoherence in QED at finite temperature
We consider a wave packet of a charged particle passing through a cavity filled with photons at temperature T and investigate its localization and interference properties. It is shown that the wave packet becomes localized and the interference disappears with an exponential speed after a sufficiently long path through the cavity. PACS numbers:03.65.-w,03.65.Bz,12.20.Ds
متن کاملCorrections to the electroweak effective action at finite temperature.
We calculate contributions to the finite temperature effective action for the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) at O(g), i.e. at second orders in (gT /M). This requires plasma-mass corrections in the calculation of the effective potential, inclusion of the “lollipop” diagram, corrections. We find the EWPT remains too weakly first-order to drive baryogenesis. We calculate some one loop kinetic...
متن کاملNonlocal Effective Action at Finite Temperature in Ultrastatic Spacetimes
Scalar fields at finite temperature are considered in four dimensional ultrastatic curved spacetime. One loop nonlocal effective action at finite temperature is found up to the second order in curvature expansion. This action is explicitly infrared finite. In the high temperature expansion of free energy, essentially nonlocal terms linear in temperature are derived. e-mail: [email protected]...
