Physical interpretation of Schwinger's formula for effective actions
- 1. Rio de Janeiro Univ., RJ (Brazil). Inst. de Fisica
Description
We show explicitly that Schwinger's formula for one-loop effective actions corresponds to the summation of energies associated with the zero-point oscillations of the fields. We begin with a formal proof, and after that we confirm it using a regularization prescription. (author)
