Self-consistent solution for the polarized vacuum in a no-photon QED model
Christian Hainzl, Mathieu Lewin, Eric Sere
We study the Bogoliubov-Dirac-Fock model introduced by Chaix and Iracane ({\it J. Phys. B.}, 22, 3791--3814, 1989) which is a mean-field theory deduced from no-photon QED. The asso…

Existence of a stable polarized vacuum in the Bogoliubov-Dirac-Fock approximation
Christian Hainzl, Mathieu Lewin, Eric Sere
According to Dirac's ideas, the vacuum consists of infinitely many virtual electrons which completely fill up the negative part of the spectrum of the free Dirac operator . In…
