The choice of the gravitational-field variable in electromagnetic self-energy problems

Выбор переменной гравитационного поля в проблемах злектромагнитной собственной знергии

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

is chosen as a field variable for gravitation. The effective part of the graviton superpropagator is calculated and applied in the electromagnetic self-energy problems. It is found that the longitudinal part of the polarization tensor vanishes in the flat space and the renormalized electron mass and charge are finite.

Riassunto

Si sceglie

come variabile di campo che rappresenta la gravità. Si calcola la parte efficace del superpropagatore di gravitoni e si applica in problemi elettromagnetici di autoenergia. Si trova che la componente longitudinale del tensore di polarizzazione si annulla nello spazio piano e la massa e la carica degli elettroni rinormalizzate hanno valori finiti.

Реэюме

выбирается как переменная поля для гравитации. Вычисляется зффективная часть гравитационного суперпропагатора, которая при-меняется в проблемах злектромагнитной собственной знергии. Получается, что продольная часть тенэора поляриэации обрашается в нуль в плоском пространстве, и перенормированные масса и эаряд злектрона являются конечными.
