Vacuum Polarization in QED with World-Line Methods

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Motivated by several recent papers on string-inspired calculations in QED, we here present our own use of world-line techniques in order to calculate the vacuum polarization and effective action in scalar and spinor QED with external arbitrary constant electromagnetic field configuration.
