The polarization tensor for a magnetized vacuum
The exact vacuum polarization 4-tensor in the presence of a static magnetic field is calculated by a method due to Svetozarova and Tsytovich. The Hermitian part of the tensor is explicitly renormalized by Shabad’s diagonalization with respect to tensor indices and the anti-Hermitian part of the tensor is found to be finite and gauge invariant. An alternative method for calculating the vacuum po...
متن کاملPhoton Splitting in Strongly Magnetized Plasma
The process of photon splitting, becomes allowed in the presence of strong magnetic field. We calculate the influence of magnetized plasma on the photon splitting absorption coefficient. We calculate the refraction coefficients and polarization vectors with the inclusion of the vacuum terms at an arbitrary value of the magnetic field, and then find photon splitting matrix element taking into ac...
متن کاملResonant Conversion of Photon Modes Due to Vacuum Polarization in a Magnetized Plasma: Implications for X-ray Emission from Magnetars
It is known that vacuum polarization can modify the photon propagation modes in the atmospheric plasma of a strongly magnetized neutron star. A resonance occurs when the effect of vacuum polarization on the photon modes balances that of the plasma. We show that a photon (with energy E >∼ a few keV) propagating outward in the atmosphere can convert from one polarization mode into another as it t...

متن کاملThe Effect of Vacuum Polarization and Proton Cyclotron Resonances on Photon Propagation in Strongly Magnetized Plasmas
We consider the effects of vacuum polarization and proton cyclotron resonances on the propagation of radiation through a strongly magnetized plasma. We analyze the conditions under which the photons evolve adiabatically through the resonant density and find that the adibaticity condition is satisfied for most photon energies of interest, allowing for a normal-mode treatment of the photon propag...
