چکیده

We examine the fermion propagator in quenched QED in three and four dimension using gauge covariant approximation which preserves Ward-Takahashi Identity with appropriate renormalization to smooth the threshold behaviour of the fermion self energy .Thus we avoid the infrared singurality in three dimension. The behaviour of the fermion propagator in three dimension near the threshold is then found to be similar to the one in four dimension instead gauge technique provides gauge invariant behaviour .We esitimate the solutions for a pair of spectral functions in the Landau gauge in three dimension by using inequalities .We find analytic solutions for arbitrary gauges in four dimension . The full propagators are expressed in terms of hypergeometric function in four dimension . The vacuum expectation value is shown to be finite after reguralization of ultraviolet divergence both in three and four dimension and vanishes in the weak coupling limit in three dimension .

Transport equation for the photon Wigner operator in non-commutative QED

We derive an exact quantum equation of motion for the photon Wigner operator in noncommutative QED, which is gauge covariant. In the classical approximation, this reduces to a simple transport equation which describes the hard thermal effects in this theory. As an example of the effectiveness of this method we show that, to leading order, this equation generates in a direct way the Green amplit...

Renormalization and Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Quenched QED in Arbitrary Covariant Gauge

We extend a previous Landau-gauge study of subtractive renormalization of the fermion propagator Dyson-Schwinger equation (DSE) in strong-coupling, quenched QED4 to arbitrary covariant gauges. We use the fermion-photon proper vertex proposed by Curtis and Pennington with an additional correction term included to compensate for the small gauge-dependence induced by the ultraviolet regulator. We ...

Gauge-Dependence of Green’s Functions in QCD and QED

When all Green’s functions are known in a given gauge we may raise a question of whether it is possible or not to derive the corresponding ones in a different gauge. The answer is negative in QCD but affirmative in QED provided that we confine ourselves to the covariant gauge characterized by a gauge parameter α. We shall discuss the physical significance of this conclusion.

On Renormalized Strong-Coupling Quenched QED in Four Dimensions

We study renormalized quenched strong-coupling QED in four dimensions in arbitrary covariant gauge. Above the critical coupling leading to dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, we show that there is no finite chiral limit. This behaviour is found to be independent of the detailed choice of photonfermion proper vertex in the Dyson-Schwinger equation formalism, provided that the vertex is consisten...

One-loop QED vertex in any covariant gauge: Its complete analytic form.

The one loop vertex in QED is calculated in arbitrary covariant gauges as an analytic function of its momenta. The vertex is decomposed into a longitudinal part, that is fully responsible for ensuring the Ward and Ward-Takahashi identities are satisfied, and a transverse part. The transverse part is decomposed into 8 independent components each being separately free of kinematic singularities i...
