Quantum Electrodynamics in Strong Magnetic Fields. I. Electron States
Open accessAbstract
Dirac's equation in the presence of a static magnetic field is solved in terms of both cartesian and cylindrical coordinates, and solutions are found for three different spin operators. Choosing the spin to correspond to the parallel component Ilz of the magnetic moment operator leads to wavefunctions (a) which are symmetric between electron and positron states and (b) which are eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian including radiative corrections. A vertex function [y:',~(k)l~ is defined and shown to be proportional to a gauge independent quantity [T::~(k)l". Symmetry properties of [T~:~(k)l~ are derived in the case where the spin corresponds to Ilz. The use of the vertex function is illustrated by deriving the electron propagator in coordinate space from the vacuum expectation value. Properties of functions J~, _n(x) which appear extensively and are related to generalized Laguerre polynomials are derived and summarized in the Appendix.

In the citing paper
“Both for the Pauli and the Dirac equations, the spatial dependence of the wave-function in Cartesian coordinates can be expressed as a Hermite polynomial times a Gaussian function (Melrose and Parle 1983) only the energy eigenvalues for the Landau quantized states are different.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
