Heisenberg-Euler Effective Lagrangians : Basics and Extensions
read the original abstract
I present a pedagogical review of Heisenberg-Euler effective Lagrangians, beginning with the original work of Heisenberg and Euler, and Weisskopf, for the one loop effective action of quantum electrodynamics in a constant electromagnetic background field, and then summarizing some of the important applications and generalizations to inhomogeneous background fields, nonabelian backgrounds, and higher loop effective Lagrangians.

The Free Particle--Oscillator--Inverted Oscillator Triangle: Conformal Bridges, Metaplectic Rotations and $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2)$ Structure
The free particle, harmonic oscillator, and inverted oscillator are unified as parabolic, elliptic, and hyperbolic realizations of the same conformal module, with explicit mappings between their states, coherent state...

Heisenberg-Euler and the Quantum Dilogarithm
Heisenberg-Euler effective Lagrangian is recast as a dispersion integral with the quantum dilogarithm as kernel, its imaginary part given directly by the dilogarithm and its real part involving the modular dual.

Leading low-temperature correction to the Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian
The leading low-T correction to the two-loop Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian is extracted from derivatives of the one-loop zero-T version via real-time formalism, then dressed with tadpoles and resummed to all loops.
