Abstract
It is shown theoretically that the electromagnetic background of longitudinal zero oscillations of a temperature-degenerate electron–ion plasma in a thermodynamic equilibrium state resonantly distorts the wave functions of its electrons. This gives rise to a characteristic quantum frequency that nonanalytically depends on Planck’s constant ℏ. Vacuum phenomena in plasma attributed to zero oscillations turn out to be anomalously large. Quantum corrections to the transverse dielectric permittivity of a degenerate electron–ion plasma, which are nonanalytic with respect to ℏ and are attributed to the zero-point oscillations of the plasma, are determined.
