In quantum Hall edge states and in other one-dimensional interacting systems, charge fractionalization can occur due to the fact that an injected charge pulse decomposes into eigenmodes propagating at different velocities. If the original…

Quantum electrodynamics is generally extended to a nonlocal QED by introducing the correlation functions. The gauge link is introduced to guarantee that the nonlocal QED is locally U(1) gauge invariant. The corresponding Feynman rules as…

Out of the four components of the electromagnetic field, Maxwell's theory only contains two physical degrees of freedom. However, in an expanding universe, consistently eliminating one of the "unphysical" states in the covariant…
If we use the path integral approach, we can write quantum electrodynamics (QED) in a way that is manifestly relativistic. However the path integrals are confined to paths that are on mass-shell. What happens if we extend QED by computing…
