Light-Cone Quantization of Electrodynamics
Light-cone quantization of (3+1)-dimensional electrodynamics is discussed, using discretization as an infrared regulator and paying careful attention to the interplay between gauge choice and boundary conditions. In the zero longitudinal momentum sector of the theory a general gauge fixing is performed and the corresponding relations that determine the constrained modes of the gauge field are o...
متن کاملQuantization and simulation of Born-Infeld non-linear electrodynamics on a lattice
Abstract Born-Infeld non-linear electrodynamics arises naturally as a field theory description of the dynamics of strings and branes. Most analyses of this theory have been limited to studying it as a classical field theory. We quantize this theory on a Euclidean 4-dimensional space-time lattice and determine its properties using Monte-Carlo simulations. The electromagnetic field around a stati...
متن کاملGeneral quantization
One can convert a singular physical theory of several levels based on Lie algebras into a regular one with nearly the same finite predictions and symmetries in a limited correspondence domain by a routine general quantization: 1. Simplify the algebra of each level by a small homotopy, adducing as few new variables as possible, and respecting the relation between levels. 2. Represent the resulti...
متن کاملWave propagation in linear electrodynamics
The Fresnel equation governing the propagation of electromagnetic waves for the most general linear constitutive law is derived. The wave normals are found to lie, in general, on a fourth order surface. When the constitutive coefficients satisfy the so-called reciprocity or closure relation, one can define a duality operator on the space of the two-forms. We prove that the closure relation is a...
متن کاملPath integral quantization of electrodynamics in dielectric media
In the present paper we study the Faddeev–Popov path integral quantization of electrodynamics in an inhomogenious dielectric medium. We quantize all polarizations of the photons and introduce the corresponding ghost fields. Using the heat kernel technique, we express the heat kernel coefficients in termini of the dielectricity ǫ(x) and calculate the ultra violet divergent terms in the effective...
