Dirac's hole theory versus field theory for a time dependent perturbation
Dan Solomon
Abstract
Dirac's hole theory (HT) and quantum field theory (QFT) are generally considered to be equivalent to each other. However, it has been recently shown that for a time independent perturbation different results are obtained when the change in the vacuum energy is calculated. Here we shall extend this discussion to include a time dependent perturbation. It will be shown that HT and QFT yield different results for the change in the vacuum energy due to a time dependent perturbation.
