Is formal QED mathematically consistent?
Dan Solomon
The formal structure of quantum electrodynamics consists of various elements. These include the Schroedinger equation which evolves the system forward in time, the vacuum state whi…
The stability of the QED vacuum in the temporal gauge
Dan Solomon
The stability of the vacuum for QED in the temporal gauge will be examined. It is generally assumed that the vacuum state is the quantum state with the lowest energy. However, it w…
Comment on "A mathematical theorem as a basis for the second law: Thomson's formulation applied to equilibruim"
Dan Solomon
A.E. Allahverdyan and Th. M. Nieuwenhuizen [1] in their paper "A mathematical theorem as a basis for the second law: Thomson's formulation applied to equilibriium" present a proof…
The difference between Dirac's hole theory and quantum field theory
Dan Solomon
Dirac's hole theory and quantum field theory are generally thought to be equivalent. In fact field theory can be derived from hole theory through the process of second quantization…
A problem with the Schwinger term in Dirac field theory
Dan Solomon
In order for Dirac theory to be gauge invariant it can be shown that the Schwinger term must be zero. However, it can also be shown that for the vacuum state to be the lowest energ…
The Heisenberg versus the Schrodinger picture in quantum field theory
Dan Solomon
The Heisenberg picture and Schrodinger picture are supposed to be equivalent representations of quantum mechanics. However this idea has been challenged by P.A.M. Dirac. Also, it h…
