abstract

We analyze the structure of the imaginary part of the two-loop Euler-Heisenberg QED effective Lagrangian for a constant self-dual background. The novel feature of the two-loop result, compared to one-loop, is that the prefactor of each exponential (instanton) term in the imaginary part has itself an asymptotic expansion. We also perform a high-precision test of Borel summation techniques applied to the weak-field expansion, and find that the Borel dispersion relations reproduce the full prefactor of the leading imaginary contribution.

  • Scattering and depletion in a flying focus from conformal transformations hep-ph · 2026-05-14 · unverdicted · none · ref 60 · internal anchor

    Photon emission amplitudes in totally depleting flying focus beams equal a Gaussian average over momentum variables of the corresponding plane-wave amplitudes, obtained via conformal transformations of Volkov solutions.
