Relativistic Fermi

Functional quantum theory of free Fermi fields is treated for the special case of a free Dirac field. All other cases run on the same pattern. Starting with the Schwinger functionals of the free Dirac field, functional equations and corresponding many particle functionals can be derived. To establish a functional quantum theory, a physical interpretation of the functionals is required. It is provided by a mapping of the physical Hilbert space into an appropriate functional Hilbert space, which is introduced here. Mathematical details, especially the problems connected with anticommuting functional sources are treated in the appendices.

Electron Positron Pair

We consider QED with strong external backgrounds that are concentrated in restricted space areas. The latter backgrounds represent a kind of spatial x-electric potential steps for charged particles. They can create particles from the vacuum, the Klein paradox being closely related to this process. We describe a canonical quantization of the Dirac field with x-electric potential step in terms of adequate in- and out-creation and annihilation operators that allow one to have consistent particle interpretation of the physical system under consideration and develop a nonperturbative (in the external field) technics to calculate scattering, reflection, and electron-positron pair creation. We resume the physical impact of this development.

Mass Field

A Green function formulation of the Dirac field in curved space is considered in the cases where the mass is constant and where it is regarded as a direct particle field in the manner of Hoyle & Narlikar (1964 c ). This description is equivalent to, and in some ways more satisfactory than, that given in terms of a suitable Lagrangian, in which the Dirac or the mass field is regarded as independent of the geometry. The essential idea is to define the Dirac or the mass field in terms of certain Green functions and sources so that the field equations are satisfied identically, and then to obtain the contribution of these fields to the metric field equations from the variation of a suitable action that is defined in terms of the Green functions and sources.

Electromagnetic Decays

We propose a simple classical electrodynamics model in which a Lorentz pseudoscalar field and a Dirac field are present in the general Lagrangian of the system. The model is constructed by allowing explicit violation of chiral symmetry. This approach is intended to predict possible electromagnetic decays of the neutral pion in effective terms.

Stress Energy Momentum Tensor

We describe the free Dirac field in a four-dimensional spacetime as a locally covariant quantum field theory in the sense of Brunetti, Fredenhagen and Verch, using a representation independent construction. The freedom in the geometric constructions involved can be encoded in terms of the cohomology of the category of spin spacetimes. If we restrict ourselves to the observable algebra, the cohomological obstructions vanish and the theory is unique. We establish some basic properties of the theory and discuss the class of Hadamard states, filling some technical gaps in the literature. Finally, we show that the relative Cauchy evolution yields commutators with the stress-energy-momentum tensor, as in the scalar field case.

Wall Method

The brick-wall method put forward by 't Hooft has contributed a great deal to the understanding and calculating of the entropy of a black hole. However, there are some drawbacks in it such as little mass approximation, neglecting logarithm terms, and taking the term including L3 as a contribution of the vacuum surrounding the black hole. Moreover, the fundamental problem is why the entropy of scalar field or Dirac field surrounding a black hole is the entropy of the black hole itself. It is well known that the event horizon is the characteristic of a black hole. The entropy calculation of a black hole should be only related to its horizon. Due to this analysis, we improve the brick-wall model by taking that the entropy of a black hole is only contributed by a thin film near the event horizon. This improvement not only gives us a satisfied result, but also avoids the drawbacks in the original brick-wall method. It is found that there is an intrinsic relation between the event horizon and the entropy. We also calculate the entropy of Schwarzschild–de Sitter space–time via the improved method, which can hardly be resolved via the original model.
