Point-form quantum field theory
We examine canonical quantization of relativistic field theories on the forward hyperboloid, a Lorentz-invariant surface of the form xμx μ = τ2. This choice of quantization surface implies that all components of the 4-momentum operator are affected by interactions (if present), whereas rotation and boost generators remain interaction free – a feature characteristic of Dirac’s “point-form”of rel...
متن کاملNo resonant tunneling in quantum field theory
We investigate the nature of resonant tunneling in Quantum Field Theory. Following the pioneering work of Banks, Bender and Wu we describe quantum field theory in terms of infinite dimensional quantum mechanics and utilize the “Most probable escape path” (MPEP) as the class of paths which dominate the path integral in the classically forbidden region. Considering a 1+1 dimensional field theory ...
متن کاملQuantum and classical statistics of the electromagnetic zero-point field.
A classical electromagnetic zero-point field ~ZPF! analog of the vacuum of quantum field theory has formed the basis for theoretical investigations in the discipline known as random or stochastic electrodynamics ~SED!. In SED the statistical character of quantum measurements is imitated by the introduction of a stochastic classical background electromagnetic field. Random electromagnetic fluctu...
متن کاملHigh-Energy Behavior in Quantum Field Theory
where o (E~,Ev) is the theoretical scattering cross section for electrons of initial energy E1 and final energy E2 and m and m' are the probabilities for radiation before and after scattering, respectively. For an elastic cross section, o(E~,Ev) is a delta function and the integrals of Fq. (AS) can be evaluated approximately to yield Eq. (1) of the text if E4 in that equation is replaced by Ep....
متن کاملHigh Energy Behavior in Quantum Field Theory
We introduce the notion of a field which is strictly localizable within a region of space-time. We investigate what restrictions strict localizability imposes on high energy behavior of fields, and we find that it leads to an upper bound on the growth of a field in momentum space, This bound allows the off-mass-shell vacuum expectation values to grow in momentum space faster than any polynomial...
