Fe b 20 03 One loop vacuum polarization without infinities

چکیده

A technique for avoiding infinite integrals in the calculation of the one-loop diagram contribution to the vacuum polarization component of an atomic energy level is presented. This makes renormalization unnecessary. Infinite integrals do not occur because, as it is shown, no delta functions are required for the Green’s functions. Thus there are none to overlap. This procedure is shown to produce the same formula as the one obtained by dimensional renormalization.

An analysis of the one-loop vacuum fluctuations associated with a massless scalar field, confined in the interior of a rectangular infinitely long waveguide is presented. To identify the infinities of the vacuum fluctuations we are using different analytic regularization procedures, instead of the usual point-splitting Green's function method. The infinities which occur in ϕ 2 (x) fall into two...

Quantum Electrodynamics without Infinities

The use of a fermion Green’s function involving no delta functions is demonstrated. This Green’s function is employed to compute the first order contribution to the vacuum polarization of the hydrogen Lamb shift. No infinities appear so that regularization is unnecessary. The numerical value of this contribution to the vacuum polarization is shown to be identical to the value obtained by regula...

Vacuum Quantum Effects of a Nonconformal Scalar Field in the Radiation Dominated Friedmann Universe

Particle creation and vacuum polarization due to a quantized scalar field with arbitrary coupling are considered in the radiation dominated Friedmann Universe. The structure of infinities of the vacuum stress-energy tensor is estimated and is shown to differ from both isotropic and anisotropic cases with a conformal field. We conclude that the mass-dependent vacuum quantum effects of a nonconfo...
