Quantum states with space-like energy-momentum
Dan Solomon
A common assumption in quantum field theory is that the energy-momentum 4-vector of any quantum state must be time-like. It will be proven that this is not the case for a Dirac-Max…
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…
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…
