The Fermionic Propagator in an Intense Background
arXiv:1502.06529 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.91.105022
Abstract
New results for the fermion propagator in a laser background are presented. We show that the all orders electron propagator can be written in a compact and appealing form as a sum of sideband poles with a matrix wave function renormalisation and a matrix valued mass shift. This last result is essential in the fermionic theory if we are to maintain that both the mass and its square pick up a correction only at order e^2. A perturbative verification of our results is carried out.
