Invariances of regularized QED diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider properties of connected diagrams with fermion-photon interaction and such fermion and photon propagators and vertex function that the values of these diagrams are finite. We establish the properties of these propagators and vertex function that imply that these diagrams are invariant under C, P, T, CP, CT, PT, or CPT transformations up to some phase factor common to each process. We introduce eight new transformations related to Hermiticity and establish the conditions under which they leave the tree transition probabilities invariant. We determine such general Lorentz form-invariant fermion and photon propagators and fermion-photon vertex functions that make diagrams Lorentz-invariant.

Realistic regularization of the QED Green functions
Generalizing the ’t Hooft and Veltman method of unitary regulators, we demonstrate for the first time the existence of local, Lorentz-invariant, physically motivated Lagrangians of quantum-electrodynamic phenomena such that: (i) Feynman diagrams are finite and equal the diagrams of QED but with regularized propagators. (ii) N-point Green functions are C-, P-, and Tinvariant up to a phase factor...

متن کاملGauge Invariance in Nonlocal Regularized QED
The existence of the invariant measure in nonlocal regularized actions is discussed. It is shown that the measure for nonlocally regularized QED, as presented in [1], exists to all orders, and is precisely what is required to maintain gauge invariance at one loop and guarantees perturbative unitarity. We also demonstrate how the given procedure breaks down in anomalous theories, and discuss its...
متن کاملAxial Anomaly from the BPHZ regularized BV master equation
A BPHZ renormalized form for the master equation of the field antifield (or BV) quantization has recently been proposed by De Jonghe, Paris and Troost. This framework was shown to be very powerful in calculating gauge anomalies. We show here that this equation can also be applied in order to calculate a global anomaly (anomalous divergence of a classically conserved Noether current), considerin...
متن کاملQED Calculations of the Interelectron Interaction in Li-like Ions
Investigations of heavy few-electron atoms provide an excellent opportunity for testing QED in strong Coulomb fields. A remarkable high experimental precision has been reached in Lamb-shift measurements of Li-like ions. The uncertainty obtained e.g. for the 2p1/2 2s transition energy in Li-like Ni and Zn [1], Ag and Xe [2, 3] and U [4] is by an order of magnitude smaller than the QED contributi...
