abstract

We show how to do semiclassical nonperturbative computations within the worldline approach to quantum field theory using ``worldline instantons''. These worldline instantons are classical solutions to the Euclidean worldline loop equations of motion, and are closed spacetime loops parametrized by the proper-time. Specifically, we compute the imaginary part of the one loop effective action in scalar and spinor QED using worldline instantons, for a wide class of inhomogeneous electric field backgrounds.

Propagator from Nonperturbative Worldline Dynamics

hep-th · 2019-08-13 · reject · novelty 6.0

Worldline Monte Carlo with a fitted potential PDF gives an all-orders quenched propagator for S2QED, with a pole mass that drops toward zero near a critical coupling around 0.72.
