Abstract This paper generalizes the classical theory of perturbation of eigenvalues up to cover the most general setting where the operator surface 𝔏 : [ a , b ] × [ c , d ] → Φ 0 ⁢ ( U , V ) {\mathfrak{L}:[a,b]\times[c,d]\to\Phi_{0}(U,V)} , ( λ , μ ) ↦ 𝔏 ⁢ ( λ , μ ) {(\lambda,\mu)\mapsto\mathfrak{L}(\lambda,\mu)} , depends continuously on the perturbation parameter, μ, and holomorphically, as well as nonlinearly, on the spectral parameter, λ, where Φ 0 ⁢ ( U , V ) {\Phi_{0}(U,V)} stands for the set of Fredholm operators of index zero between U and V. The main result is a substantial extension of a classical finite-dimensional theorem of T. Kato (see [T. Kato, Perturbation Theory for Linear Operators, 2nd ed., Class. Math., Springer, Berlin, 1995, Chapter 2, Section 5]).

Gauge Transformations

In the theory of the electromagnetic field without charges, the potentials are not fixed by the field, but are subject to gauge transformations. The theory thus involves more dynamical variables than are physically needed. It is possible by destroying the gauge transformations to make the superfluous variables acquire a physical significance and describe electric charges. One gets in this way a simplified classical theory of electrons, which appears to be more suitable than the usual one as a basis for a passage to the quantum theory.

Boundary Perturbations

The classical method of solving electromagnetic field problems involving boundary perturbations is reformulated in a way that is both more general and simpler. The new formulation makes it easier to apply the theory to the class of boundaries amenable to the classical formulation, and shows that it can also be applied to other boundary shapes. As an example, the perfectly conducting sphere with surface perturbations has been treated, using the methods appropriate only for boundaries in the classical class and also using those applicable to the larger class. Some experimental results which appear to support the theory are reported.

AbstractThis paper investigates the stimulated transition process of a uniformly moving atom in interaction with a thermal bath of the quantum electromagnetic field. Using the perturbation theory, the atomic stimulated emission and absorption rates are calculated. The results indicate that the atomic transition rates depend crucially on the atomic velocity, the temperature of the thermal bath, and the atomic polarizability. As these factors change, the atomic stimulated transition processes can be enhanced or weakened at different degrees. In particular, slowly moving atoms in the thermal bath with high temperature ($$T\gg \omega _{0}$$ T ≫ ω 0 ) perceive a smaller effective temperature $$T \big ( 1-\frac{1}{10} v^{2} \big )$$ T ( 1 - 1 10 v 2 ) for the polarizability perpendicular to the atomic velocity or $$T \big ( 1-\frac{3}{10} v^{2} \big )$$ T ( 1 - 3 10 v 2 ) for the polarizability parallel to the atomic velocity. However, ultra-relativistic atoms perceive no influence of the background thermal bath. In turn, in terms of the atomic transition rates, this paper explores and examines the relativity of temperature of the quantum electromagnetic field.

Second Order Wave Equation

The electron kernel functions are derived from solutions of the second-order wave equation, using the proper-time parametrization. Iterated kernel functions are introduced and a gauge-independent perturbation theory is developed. The separation of singular parts proceeds in terms of the iterated kernel functions valid in the absence of an electromagnetic field, and the singular expressions which have to be compensated in order to determine the physically significant part of the vacuum polarization are obtained in a more transparent form than those given originally by Heisenberg.
