Description

We investigate quantum longitudinal rescaling of electrodynamics, transforming coordinates as x0,3→λx0,3 and x1,2→x1,2, to one loop. We do this by an aspherical Wilsonian renormalization, which was applied earlier to pure Yang-Mills theory. We find the anomalous powers of λ in the renormalized couplings. Our result is only valid for λ < or approx. 1, because perturbation theory breaks down for λ<<1.
