Vacuum instability of massless electrodynamics and the Gell-Mann-Low eigenvalue condition for the bare coupling constant

  • 1. AN Ukrainskoj SSR, Kiev. Inst. Teoreticheskoj Fiziki

Description

The authors discuss a connection of the Gell-Mann-Low eigenvalue condition for the bare coupling α0 with the normal phase vacuum rearrangement in massless electrodynamics which results in the fermion acquiring a physical mass. A new approach to determine the Gell-Mann-Low elgenvalue for α0 is proposed. (Auth.)
