Two-Loop Diagrammatics in a Self-Dual Background
نویسنده
چکیده
Diagrammatic rules are developed for simplifying two-loop QED diagrams with propagators in a constant self-dual background field. This diagrammatic analysis, using dimensional regularization, is used to explain how the fully renormalized two-loop Euler-Heisenberg effective Lagrangian for QED in a self-dual background field is naturally expressed in terms of one-loop diagrams. The connection between the two-loop and one-loop vacuum diagrams in a background field parallels a corresponding connection for free vacuum diagrams, without a background field, which can be derived by simple algebraic manipulations. It also mirrors similar behavior recently found for two-loop amplitudes in N=4 SUSY Yang-Mills theory.

Anatomy of Two - Loop Effective Action in Noncommutative Field Theories 1
We compute, at two-loop order, one-particle-irreducible Green functions and effective action in noncommutative λ[Φ]⋆-theory for both planar (g=0, h=3) and nonplanar (g=1, h=1) contributions. We adopt worldline formulation of the Feynman diagrammatics so that relation to string theory diagrammatics is made transparent in the Seiberg-Witten limit. We argue that the resulting two-loop effective ac...
متن کاملDual Phase Detector Based Delay Locked Loop for High Speed Applications
In this paper a new architecture for delay locked loops will be presented. One of problems in phase-frequency detectors (PFD) is static phase offset or reset path delay. The proposed structure decreases the jitter resulted from PFD by switching two PFDs. In this new architecture, a conventional PFD is used before locking of DLL to decrease the amount of phase difference between input and outpu...
متن کاملA Two Stage Stochastic Programming Model of the Price Decision Problem in the Dual-channel Closed-loop Supply Chain
In this paper, we propose a new model for designing integrated forward/reverse logistics based on pricing policy in direct and indirect sales channel. The proposed model includes producers, disposal center, distributers and final customers. We assumed that the location of final customers is fixed. First, a deterministic mixed integer linear programming model is developed for integrated logistic...
متن کاملExact Answers to Approximate Questions – Noncommutative Dipoles , Open Wilson Lines and Uv - Ir Duality –
In this lecture, I put forward conjectures asserting that, in all noncommutative field theories, (1) open Wilson lines and their descendants constitute a complete set of interpolating operators of ‘noncommutative dipoles’, obeying dipole relation, (2) infrared dynamics of the noncommutative dipoles is dual to ultraviolet dynamics of the elementary noncommutative fields, and (3) open string fiel...
متن کاملSelf-duality, Helicity and Higher-loop Euler-Heisenberg Effective Actions∗
The Euler-Heisenberg effective action in a self-dual background is remarkably simple at two-loop. This simplicity is due to the inter-relationship between self-duality, helicity and supersymmetry. Applications include two-loop helicity amplitudes, beta-functions and nonperturbative effects. The two-loop EulerHeisenberg effective Lagrangian for QED in a self-dual background field is naturally ex...
