Massless quantum electrodynamics with a critical point
Recently, it has been observed that a quantum field theory need not be Hermitian to have a real, positive spectrum. What seems to be required is symmetry under combined parity and time-reversal transformations. This idea is extended to massless electrodynamics, in which the photon couples to the axial-vector current with an imaginary coupling constant. The eigenvalue condition necessary for the...
متن کاملReviewing the Zero Point Energy
A review of recent developments in the study of the Zero Point Energy (ZPE) is made. The origin and behavior of the electromagnetic fields making up the vacuum ZPE is elucidated. From this it is deduced that the ZPE should increase with time even in a static universe such as Narliker and Arp propose. The small oscillations that a static cosmos undergoes will add a variable component to the over...
متن کاملVacuum Polarization Effects from Fermion Zero-Point Energy
The influence of an external electromagnetic field on the vacuum structure of a quantized Dirac field is investigated by considering the quantum corrections to classical Maxwell’s Lagrangian density induced by fluctuations of the non-perturbative vacuum. Effective Lagrangian densities for Maxwell’s theory in (3+1) and (2+1) dimensions are derived from the vacuum zero-point energy of the fermion...
متن کاملSelf-energy Effects on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Parameters within Quantum Electrodynamics Perturbation Theory
A theory for the calculation of self-energy corrections to the nuclear magnetic parameters is given in this paper. It is based on the S-matrix formulation of bound-state quantum electrodynamics (QED). Explicit expressions for the various terms of the S-matrix are given. The interpretation of the self-energy, oneand twovertex terms and some perspective for possible future developments are discus...
متن کاملCollective Optomechanical Effects in Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics.
We investigate a cavity quantum electrodynamic effect, where the alignment of two-dimensional freely rotating optical dipoles is driven by their collective coupling to the cavity field. By exploiting the formal equivalence of a set of rotating dipoles with a polymer we calculate the partition function of the coupled light-matter system and demonstrate that it exhibits a second order phase trans...
