Photon mass from inflation.
We consider vacuum polarization from massless scalar electrodynamics in de Sitter inflation. The theory exhibits a 3+1 dimensional analog of the Schwinger mechanism in which a photon mass is dynamically generated. The mechanism is generic for light scalar fields that couple minimally to gravity. The nonvanishing of the photon mass during inflation may result in magnetic fields on cosmological s...
متن کاملNonvanishing Univalent Functions*
The class S of functions g(z) = z + c 2 z 2 + c 3 z 3 + ... analytic and univalent in the unit disk Izr < 1 has been thoroughly studied, and its properties are well known. Our purpose is to investigate another class of functions which, by contrast, seems to have been rather neglected. This is the class S o of functions f ( z ) = 1 + a 1 z + a 2 z Z + . . , analytic, univalent, and nonvanishing ...
متن کاملThe mass of the photon
Because classical Maxwellian electromagnetism has been one of the cornerstones of physics during the past century, experimental tests of its foundations are always of considerable interest. Within that context, one of the most important efforts of this type has historically been the search for a rest mass of the photon. The effects of a nonzero photon rest mass can be incorporated into electrom...
متن کاملPossible Observation of Photon Speed Energy Dependence
Current constraints on photon velocity variability are summarized and displayed in terms of an energy dependent vacuum refraction index. It is shown that the energy-momentum balance of high energy Compton scattering is very sensitive to the outgoing photon speed. A missing energy observation in HERA Compton polarimeter data indicates that photons with 12.7 GeV energy are moving faster than ligh...
متن کاملPhoton and Graviton Mass Limits
Efforts to place limits on deviations from canonical formulations of electromagnetism and gravity have probed length scales increasing dramatically over time. Historically, these formulations have passed through three stages: (1) Testing the power in the inverse-square laws of Newton and Coulomb, (2) Seeking a nonzero value for the rest mass of photon or graviton, (3) Considering more degrees o...
