The gauge properties of Green’s functions in quantum electrodynamics

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Effects of a change of gange on the Green’s functions are studied systematically in quantum electrodynamics and relations between Green’s functions under two different gauges are given.

Riassunto

Si studiano sistematicamente in elettrodinamica quantistica gli effetti di un cambiamento di gauge sulle funzioni di Green e si danno le relazioni fra le funzioni di Green nel caso di due gauge diversi.
