Functional Integral Representation of the Pauli-Fierz Model with Spin 1/2
نویسنده
چکیده
A Feynman-Kac-type formula for a Lévy and an infinite dimensional Gaussian random process associated with a quantized radiation field is derived. In particular, a functional integral representation of e−tHPF generated by the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian with spin 1/2 in non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics is constructed. When no external potential is applied HPF turns translation invariant and it is decomposed as a direct integral HPF = ∫⊕ R3 HPF(P )dP . The functional integral representation of e−tHPF(P ) is also given. Although all these Hamiltonians include spin, nevertheless the kernels obtained for the path measures are scalar rather than matrix expressions. As an application of the functional integral representations energy comparison inequalities are derived.

Two-fold ground states of the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian including spin
The Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian describes an interaction between a low energy electron and photons. Existence of ground states has been established. The purpose of this talk is to show that its ground states is exactly two-fold in a weak coupling region. 1 The Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian This is a joint work with Herbert Spohn . The Hamiltonian in question is the PauliFierz Hamiltonian in nonrelativisi...
متن کاملOn the Non-relativistic Limit of a Model in Quantum Electrodynamics
We consider a (semi-)relativistic spin-1/2 particle interacting with quantized radiation. The Hamiltonian has the form Ĥ c := {c2[(p + A) +σ ·B] + (mc2)2}1/2 −mc2 +V +Hf . Assuming that the potential |V | is bounded with respect to the momentum |p|, we show that Ĥ c converges in norm-resolvent sense to the usual Pauli-Fierz operator when c, the speed of light, tends to ∞.
متن کاملMultiplicity of ground states in quantum field models: applications of asymptotic fields
The ground states of an abstract model in quantum field theory are investigated. By means of the asymptotic field theory, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for that the expectation value of the number operator of ground states is finite, from which we obtain a wide-usable method to estimate an upper bound of the multiplicity of ground states. Ground states of massless GSB models and ...
متن کاملMassive gravity in three dimensions.
A particular higher-derivative extension of the Einstein-Hilbert action in three spacetime dimensions is shown to be equivalent at the linearized level to the (unitary) Pauli-Fierz action for a massive spin-2 field. A more general model, which also includes "topologically-massive" gravity as a special case, propagates the two spin-2 helicity states with different masses. We discuss the extensio...
متن کاملMassive Spin-2 fields of Geometric Origin in Curved Spacetimes
We study the consistency of a model which includes torsion as well as the metric as dynamical fields and has massive spin-2 particle in its spectrum. The massive spin-2 mode resides in the torsion, rather than in the metric. It is known that this model is tachyonand ghost-free in Minkowski background. We show that this property remains valid and no other pathologies emerge in de Sitter and anti...
