We find an exact solution to the Dirac equation in 1–1 dimension space-time in the presence of a time-dependent potential that consists of a combination of electric, scalar, and pseudoscalar terms.

The exact solution of the Feynman checkerboard model is given both in terms of the hypergeometric series and in terms of Jacobi polynomials. It is shown how this leads, in the continuous limit, to the Dirac equation in two-dimensional space-time.

Dirac's hole theory (HT) and quantum field theory (QFT) are generally considered equivalent. However, it was recently shown by several investigators that this is not necessarily the case because when the change in the vacuum energy was calculated for a time-independent perturbation, HT and QFT yielded different results. In this paper, we extend this discussion to include a time-dependent perturbation for which the exact solution to the Dirac equation is known. We show that for this case also, HT and QFT yield different results. In addition, we offer some discussion of the problem of anomalies in QFT. PACS Nos.: 03.65–w, 11.10–z
