The Euler–Heisenberg effective action at the one-loop for a constant electromagnetic field is derived in Krein space quantization with Ford's idea of fluctuated light-cone. In this work, we present a perturbative but convergent solution of the effective action. Without using any renormalization procedure, the result coincides with the famous renormalized Euler–Heisenberg action.

Motivated by the seminal work of Schwinger, we obtain explicit closed-form expressions for the one-loop effective action in a constant electromagnetic field. We discuss both massive and massless charged scalars and spinors in two, three and four dimensions. Both strong-field and weak-field limits are calculable. The latter limit results in an asymptotic expansion whose first term reproduces the Euler-Heinsenberg effective Lagrangian. We use the prescription of zeta-function renormalization, and indicate its relationship to Schwinger’s renormalized effective action.

In this paper, the λϕ4 scalar field effective action, in the one-loop approximation, is calculated by using the Krein space quantization. We show that the effective action is naturally finite and the singularity does not appear in the theory. The physical interaction mass, the running coupling constant and β-function are then calculated. The effective potential which is calculated in the Krein space quantization is different from the usual Hilbert space calculation, however we show that β-function is the same in the two different methods.

The appearance of divergence creates computational issues in the process of calculating the one-loop effective action of [Formula: see text] in quantum field theory. In this paper, it is demonstrated that using Krein space quantization with Ford’s method of fluctuated metrics, divergence can be removed and that without using any traditional regularization method, it is possible to arrive at a finite solution for the effective action.

The derivative expansion of the one-loop effective Lagrangian in QED4 is considered. The first term in such an expansion is the famous Schwinger result for a constant electromagnetic field. In this paper we give an explicit expression for the next term containing two derivatives of the field strength Fμν. The results are presented for both fermion and scalar electrodynamics. Some possible applications of an inhomogeneous external field are pointed out.

We calculate the one-loop free energy for two parallel D-branes connected by open bosonic (neutral or charged) string in a constant uniform electromagnetic (EM) field at nonzero temperature. For neutral string, external EM field contribution appears as multiplier (Born-Infeld type action) of one-loop quantities without the external EM field. The Hagedorn temperature is not changed if compare with the case of standard string gas in the constant electromagnetic field.

We discuss a massive scalar field with conformal coupling in the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) Universe of a special type with a constant electromagnetic field. Treating an external gravitational–electromagnetic background exactly, at the first time the proper-time representations for out–in, in–in and out–out scalar Green functions are explicitly constructed as proper-time integrals over the corresponding (complex) contours. The vacuum-to-vacuum transition amplitudes and the number of created particles are found and vacuum instability is discussed. The mean values of the current and the energy–momentum tensor are evaluated, and different approximations for them are investigated. The back reaction of the particles created to the electromagnetic field is estimated in different regimes. The connection between the proper-time method and the effective action is outlined. The effective action in scalar QED in the weakly curved FRW Universe (de Sitter space) with a weak constant electromagnetic field is found as a derivative expansion over curvature and electromagnetic field strength. Possible further applications of the results are mentioned.

Abstract We advocate the study of external-field quantum electrodynamics with N charged particle flavors. Our main focus is on the Heisenberg-Euler effective action for this theory in the large N limit which receives contributions from all loop orders. The contributions beyond one loop stem from one-particle reducible diagrams. We show that specifically in constant electromagnetic fields the latter are generated by the one-loop Heisenberg-Euler effective Lagrangian. Hence, in this case the large N Heisenberg-Euler effective action can be determined explicitly at any desired loop order. We demonstrate that further analytical insights are possible for electric-and magnetic-like field configurations characterized by the vanishing of one of the secular invariants of the electromagnetic field and work out the all-orders strong field limit of the theory.
