Asymptotic Electromagnetic Fields in Non-relativistic QED: the Problem of Existence Revisited

Marcel Griesemer, Heribert Zenk

备注：: 12 pages

英文摘要：

This paper is devoted to the scattering of photons at electrons in models of non-relativistic quantum mechanical particles coupled minimally to the soft modes of the quantized electromagnetic field. We prove existence of scattering states involving an arbitrary number of asymptotic photons of arbitrarily high energy. Previously, upper bounds on the photon energies seemed necessary in the case of $n>1$ asymptotic photons and non-confined, non-relativistic charged particles.

Enhanced binding revisited for a spinless particle in non-relativistic QED

We consider a spinless particle coupled to a quantized Bose field and show that such a system has a ground state for two classes of short-range potentials which are alone too weak to have a zero-energy resonance.

Hyperfine splitting of the dressed hydrogen atom ground state in non-relativistic QED

We consider a spin-1/2 electron and a spin-1/2 nucleus interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field in the standard model of non-relativistic QED. For a fixed total momentum sufficiently small, we study the multiplicity of the ground state of the reduced Hamiltonian. We prove that the coupling between the spins of the charged particles and the electromagnetic field splits the degeneracy of the ground state.

The retarded van der Waals potential - revisited

The retarded van-der-Waals potential, as first obtained by Casimir and Polder, is usually computed on the basis of nonrelativistic QED. The hamiltonian describes two infinitely heavy nuclei, charge $e$, separated by a distance $R$ and two spinless electrons, charge $-e$, nonrelativistically coupled to the quantized radiation field. Casimir and Polder use the dipole approximation and small coupling to the Maxwell field. We employ here the full hamiltonian and determine the asymptotic strength of the leading $-R^{-7}$ potential, which is valid for all $e$. Our computation is based on a path inte…

Soliton-like excitation in large-alpha QED

The nonperturbative analysis of the one-particle excitation of the electron-positron field is made in the paper. The standard form of quantum electrodynamics (QED) is used but the coupling constant $α_0$ is supposed to be of a large value ($α_0 \gg 1$). It is shown that in this case the quasi-particle excitation can be produced together with the non-zero scalar component of the electromagnetic field. Self-consistent equations for spatially localized charge distribution coupled with an electromagnetic field are derived. Soliton-like solution with a nonzero charge for these equations are calcula…

Revisited gauge principle: towards a unification of space-time and internal gauge interactions

The minimal coupling principle is revisited under the quantum perspectives of the space-time symmetry. This revision is better realized on a Group Approach to Quantization (GAQ) where group cohomology and extensions of groups play a preponderant role. We firstly consider the case of the electromagnetic potential; the Galilei and/or Poincare group is (non-centrally) extended by the "local" U(1) group. This group can also be seen as a central extension, parametrized by both the mass and the electric charge, of an infinite-dimensional group, on which GAQ leads to the dynamics of a particle moving…

Causal perturbative QED and infra-red states

At the classical level the electromagnetic field can be well identified at the spatial infinity. Staruszkiewicz pointed out that the quantization of the electromagnetic field at spatial infinity is essentially unique and follows from the two fundamental principles: 1) gauge invariance and 2) canonical commutation relations for canonically conjugated generalized coordinates, and constructed a simple and mathematically transparent quantum theory of the Coulomb field, predicting (among other things) a relation between the theory of unitary representations of the $SL(2, \mathbb{C})$ group and the …

The Zilch Electromagnetic Conservation Law Revisited

It is shown that the zilch conservation law arises as the Noether current corresponding to a variational symmetry of a duality-symmetric Maxwell Lagrangian. The action of the corresponding symmetry generator on the duality-symmetric Lagrangian, while non-vanishing, is a total divergence as required by the Noether theory. The variational nature of the zilch conservation law was previously known only for some of the components of the zilch tensor, notably the optical chirality. By contrast, our analysis is fully covariant and is therefore valid for all components of the zilch tensor. The analysi…

Irreducible representations of the CPT groups in QED

We construct the inequivalent irreducible representations (IIR's) of the CPT groups of the Dirac field operator \hatψ and the electromagnetic quantum potential \hat{A}_μ. The results are valid both for free and interacting (QED) fields. Also, and for the sake of completeness, we construct the IIR's of the CPT group of the Dirac equation.

One-loop finite temperature effective action of QED in the worldline approach

The one-loop finite temperature effective potential of QED in an external electromagnetic field is obtained using the worldline method. The general structure of the temperature dependent part of the effective action in an arbitrary external inhomogeneous magnetic field is established. The two-derivative effective action of spinor and scalar QED in a static magnetic background at $T\neq 0$ is derived.

Resolvent smoothness and local decay at low energies for the standard model of non-relativistic QED

We consider an atom interacting with the quantized electromagnetic field in the standard model of non-relativistic QED. The nucleus is supposed to be fixed. We prove smoothness of the resolvent and local decay of the photon dynamics for quantum states in a spectral interval I just above the ground state energy. Our results are uniform with respect to I. Their proofs are based on abstract Mourre's theory, a Mourre inequality established in [FGS1], Hardy-type estimates in Fock space, and a low-energy dyadic decomposition.
