abstract

An investigation of the validity of the semiclassical approximation to quantum electrodynamics in 1+1 dimensions is given. The criterion for validity used here involves the impact of quantum fluctuations introduced through a two-point function which emerges naturally when considering the stability of the backreaction equation to linear order perturbations, resulting in the linear response equation. Consideration is given to the case of a spatially homogeneous electric field generated by a classical source, coupled to a quantized massive spin 1/2 field. Solutions to the linear response equation as well as the impact of quantum fluctuations introduced through the current density two-point correlation function are presented for two relevant electric field-to-mass parameter values $qE/m^2$, indicative of the strength of the backreaction process. Previous efforts utilized approximate solutions to the linear response equation that were expected to be valid for early times. A comparative analysis is given between the exact and approximate solutions in order to validate this conjecture.

  1. The Cauchy Problem for Symmetric Hyperbolic Systems with Nonlocal Potentials

    math.AP 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Under smallness and decay conditions on nonlocal potentials, symmetric hyperbolic systems on curved spacetimes admit strong solutions to the Cauchy problem, with a sharp threshold beyond which solutions fail.
