In this paper we study the polarization tensor of photons in a QED plasma in the presence of a magnetic field. We do it both at vanishing and at finite temperature. We use two different methods to compute the polarization tensor components…
We compute the photon polarization tensor at one-loop order in the presence of a constant and uniform electric field. Our calculation is carried out for arbitrary field strength using the Schwinger proper-time formalism, and we explicitly…
The one-loop vacuum polarization tensor is computed in QED with an external constant, homogeneous magnetic field at finite temperature. The Schwinger proper-time formalism is used and the computations are done in Euclidian space. The…
We present analytical and numerical calculations for the photon polarization tensor at finite temperature and density in a constant magnetic field. We first discuss the tensor decomposition in the presence of the magnetic field, which…
We investigate in-medium polarization effects of the fermion and antifermion pairs at finite temperature and density in strong magnetic fields within the lowest Landau level approximation. Inspecting the integral representation of the…
Polarizability tensor of a strongly magnetized plasma and the polarization vectors and opacities of normal electromagnetic waves are studied for the conditions typical of neutron star atmospheres, taking account of partial ionization…
In continuation to our earlier work, in which the structure of the vacuum polarisation tensor in a medium was analysed in presence of a background electro-magnetic field, we discuss the absorptive part of the vacuum polarization tensor.…
Hattori-Itakura have recently derived the full Landau-level summation form for the photon vacuum polarization tensor in constant external magnetic fields at the one-loop level. The Landau-level summation form is essential when the photon…
The string-inspired technique is used for the calculation of vacuum polarisation tensors in constant electromagnetic fields. In the first part of this series, we give a detailed exposition of the method for the case of the QED one-loop…
In this paper, we have developed a systematic technique to regularize double summations of Landau levels and analytically evaluated the photon vacuum polarization at an external magnetic field. The final results are described by Lerch…
We revisit the photon polarization tensor in a homogeneous external magnetic or electric field. The starting point of our considerations is the momentum space representation of the one-loop photon polarization tensor in the presence of a…
Photons propagating in strong magnetic fields are subject to a phenomenon called the "vacuum birefringence" where refractive indices of two physical modes both deviate from unity and are different from each other. We compute the vacuum…
We calculate the absorptive part of the photon polarization tensor in a hot magnetized relativistic plasma. In the derivation, we utilize a Landau-level representation for the fermion Green's function in a mixed coordinate-momentum space…
The photon polarization tensor is the central building block of an effective theory description of photon propagation in the quantum vacuum. It accounts for the vacuum fluctuations of the underlying theory, and in the presence of external…
We investigate the photon polarization tensor at finite temperature in the presence of a static and homogeneous external magnetic field. In our scheme, the Matsubara frequency summation is performed after Poisson summation, which will be…
Using the real time formalism of the finite temperature field theory we calculate the 1-loop polarization tensor in the presence of a background magnetic field in a medium. The expression is obtained to linear order in the background field…
Starting from the Heisenberg-Euler effective Lagrangian, we determine the photon current and photon polarization tensor in inhomogeneous, slowly varying electromagnetic fields. To this end, we consider background field configurations…
A solution to the Boltzmann equation is obtained for a magnetized plasma with strongly degenerate nonrelativistic electrons and nondegenerate nuclei. The components of the diffusion, thermal diffusion and diffusion thermoeffect tensors in a…
We compute the $\mathcal{O}(k^2)$ terms (power corrections) of the photon polarization tensor in a hot and dense medium of particles with a small but finite mass, i.e., $0< m\ll T, \mu$. We perform our calculations within the hard thermal…
We calculate the polarization tensor of charged gluons in a Abelian homogeneous magnetic background field at finite temperature in one loop order Lorentz background field gauge in full generality. Thereby we first determine the ten…
