Quantum electrodynamics in the temporal gauge.
We canonically quantize electrodynamics in the temporal gauge .4, = 0. Realizing commutation relations in a Hilbert space containing unphysical longitudinal photons, we pay special attention to the implementation of Gauss’s law and the attendant normalization difficulties for physical states. We then formulate the perturbation series and explicitly exhibit equivalence with the standard textbook...
متن کاملGauge invariance of the β-function in nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics
Recently there has been much interest in gauge theories applied to condensed matter physics. I show that for a system of nonrelativistic electrons coupled to a U(1) gauge field in the presence of a Fermi surface, the β-function to one-loop order is, for a particular family of gauge-choices, independent of the gauge-choice.
متن کاملMathematical structure of the temporal gauge in quantum electrodynamics
The conflict between Gauss' law constraint and the existence of the propagator of the gauge fields, at the basis of contradictory proposals in the literature, is shown to lead to only two alternatives, both with peculiar features with respect to standard quantum field theory. In the positive (interacting) case, the Gauss' law holds in operator form, but only the correlations of exponentials of ...
متن کاملQuantum electrodynamics in the light-front Weyl gauge.
We examine QED(3+1) quantised in the ‘front form’ with finite ‘volume’ regularisation, namely in Discretised Light-Cone Quantisation. Instead of the light-cone or Coulomb gauges, we impose the light-front Weyl gauge A− = 0. The Dirac method is used to arrive at the quantum commutation relations for the independent variables. We apply ‘quantum mechanical gauge fixing’ to implement Gauß’ law, and...
متن کاملNonlocal Quantum Electrodynamics Admits a Finitely Induced Gauge Field Action
The Letter reconsiders a result obtained by Chrétien and Peierls in 1954 within nonlocal QED in 4D [Proc. Roy. Soc. London A 223, 468]. Starting from secondly quantized fermions subject to a nonlocal action with the kernel [i 6∂x a (x)− m b (x)] and gauge covariantly coupled to an external U(1) gauge field they found that for a = b the induced gauge field action cannot be made finite irrespecti...
