According to Dirac's theory of the positron, an electromagnetic field tends to create pairs of particles which leads to a change of Maxwell's equations in the vacuum. These changes are calculated in the special case that no real electrons or positrons are present and the field varies little over a Compton wavelength.

  1. Compact space catalysis of false vacuum decay and Schwinger effect

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Below a critical compact volume, false vacuum decay proceeds via a new homogeneous bounce instead of the O(D) bubble, exponentially enhancing the rate and nucleating uniform field configurations.

    First differential cross-sections for γγ→ττ in Pb+Pb collisions yield 95% CL intervals -0.057 < a_τ < 0.035 and |d_τ| < 2.7×10^{-16} e cm.

  3. Euler-Heisenberg actions in higher dimensions

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Closed-form expression for the six-dimensional Euler-Heisenberg action in QED is derived via extended proper-time methods, with pair production analysis in d dimensions and a dimension-6 conformal primary determining ...

    SAR regularizes φ⁴ and Yukawa theories at NLO by analytically continuing the power of the kinetic operator in the action.

  6. Leading low-temperature correction to the Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The leading low-T correction to the two-loop Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian is extracted from derivatives of the one-loop zero-T version via real-time formalism, then dressed with tadpoles and resummed to all loops.
