A Cusp in QED at g=2
Abstract
We explore nonperturbative properties of QED allowing a gyromagnetic ratio . We study the effective action for an arbitrarily strong constant and homogeneous field. Using the external field method, we find a cusp as a function of the gyromagnetic factor in: a) The QED -renormalization group coefficient; b) A subclass of light-light scattering coefficients obtained in the long wavelength limit expansion. We recognize possibility of asymptotic freedom in an Abelian theory for certain domains of .
