Run-away solutions in relativistic spin 1/2 quantum electrodynamics
F. E. Low
Abstract
The existence of run-away solutions in classical and non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics is reviewed. It is shown that the less singular high energy behavior of relativistic spin 1/2 quantum electrodynamics precludes an analogous behavior in that theory. However, a Landau-like anomalous pole in the photon propagation function or in the electron-massive photon foward scattering amplitude would generate a new run-away, characterized by an energy scale omega ~ me exp (1/alpha). This contrasts with the energy scale omega ~ (me/alpha) associated with the classical and non-relativistic quantum run-aways.
