14 Dec 2001 | Journal: | Int.J.Mod.Phys. A17 (2002) 966-978 | Subject: | hep-ph | Affiliation: | CERN), Kurt Langfeld (Tubingen U. | Abstract: | A numerical technique for calculating effective actions of electromagnetic backgrounds is proposed, which is based on the string-inspired worldline formalism. As examples, we consider scalar electrodynamics in three and four dimensions to one-loop order. Beyond the constant-magnetic-field case, we analyze a step-function-like magnetic field exhibiting a nonlocal and nonperturbative phenomenon: ``magnetic-field diffusion’’. Finally, generalizations to fermionic loops and systems at finite temperature are discussed. | Source: | arXiv, hep-ph/0112198 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
