We investigate textbook QED in the framework of the exact renormalization group. In the strong-coupling region, we study the influence of fluctuation-induced photonic and fermionic self-interactions on the nonperturbative running of the gauge coupling. Our findings confirm the triviality hypothesis of complete charge screening if the ultraviolet cutoff is sent to infinity. Though the Landau pole does not belong to the physical coupling domain owing to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking (chiSB), the theory predicts a scale of maximal UV extension of the same order as the Landau pole scale. In addition, we verify that the chiSB phase of the theory which is characterized by a light fermion and a Goldstone boson also has a trivial Yukawa coupling.

  1. Hard cutoff and gauge theories

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A hard-cutoff scheme for scalar and fermionic QED is constructed that preserves gauge invariance and reproduces the standard Euler-Heisenberg effective action up to cutoff-suppressed periodic corrections.

  2. Induced CFJ Term in nonlocal Lorentz-Violating QED: Natural Regularization from Entire Dirac Operators

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    In nonlocal Lorentz-violating QED with entire form factors of the Dirac operator, the induced CFJ coefficient is finite and equals the local value times a deformation function of m/Λ.
