Vacuum Polarisation Tensors in Constant Electromagnetic Fields: Part I
نویسنده
چکیده
The string-inspired technique is used for the calculation of vacuum polarisation tensors in constant electromagnetic fields. In the first part of this series, we give a detailed exposition of the method for the case of the QED one-loop N-photon amplitude in a general constant electromagnetic background field. The twopoint cases are calculated explicitly, leading to compact representations for the constant field vacuum polarisation tensors for both scalar and spinor QED.

Vacuum Polarisation Tensors in Constant Electromagnetic Fields: Part III
The string-inspired technique is used for a first calculation of the one-loop axialvector vacuum polarisation in a general constant electromagnetic field. A compact result is reached for the difference between this tensor and the corresponding vector vacuum polarisation. This result is confirmed by a Feynman diagram calculation. Its physical relevance is briefly discussed.
متن کاملVacuum Polarisation Tensors in Constant Electromagnetic Fields: Part II
In the second part of this series we apply the “string-inspired” technique to the calculation of one-loop amplitudes involving both vectors and axialvectors, as well as a general constant electromagnetic background field. The vector-axialvector two-point function in a constant field is calculated explicitly.
متن کاملThe perturbation of electromagnetic fields at distances
We rigorously derive the leading order terms in asymptotic expansions for the scattered electric and magnetic fields in the presence of a small object at distances that are large compared to its size. Our expansions hold for fixed wavenumber when the scatterer is a (lossy) homogeneous dielectric object with constant material parameters or a perfect conductor. We also derive the corresponding le...
متن کاملGeneralized Effective Lagrangian from Non-Commutative Electrodynamics and Vacuum Birefringence
The generalized effective Lagrangian of electromagnetic fields motivated by electrodynamics on non-commutative spaces has been considered. We find the canonical and symmetrical energy-momentum tensors and their non-zero traces. The propagation of a linearly polarized laser beam in the external transverse magnetic field is investigated. We evaluate induced ellipticity which allows us to obtain t...
متن کاملPair Production and Vacuum Polarization of Arbitrary Spin Particles with EDM and AMM
The exact solutions of the wave equation for arbitrary spin particles with electric dipole and magnetic moments in the constant and uniform electromagnetic field were found. The differential probability of pair production of particles by an external electromagnetic field has been calculated on the basis of the exact solutions. We have also estimated the imaginary part of the constant and unifor...
