Abstract

We study the two-point correlation functions under an influence of the constant homogeneous magnetic field. In addition to the correlators of scalar, pseudoscalar, vector and axial-vector fermionic currents, we calculate the non-diagonal one including the tensor and pseudoscalar currents. The tensor current is a fermionic part of the Pauli Lagrangian relevant for the electromagnetic interaction of fermions through the anomalous magnetic moment. Its contribution to the photon polarization operator is briefly discussed.

Highlights

  • The Standard Model — the gauge theory based on the S U(3)C⊗S U(2)L⊗U(1)Y group — is intensively testing for its consistency and no significant experimental deviations from theoretical predictions have been found yet [1]

  • To get a good agreement with experimental data at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), production cross-sections should be known in the Next-to-Leading Order (NLO) and some of them even in the Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO)

  • We present the propagator of a charged fermion in the constant homogeneous magnetic field in the Fock-Schwinger representation, show some selected results for the two-point correlation functions and conclude with a discussion of further applications of the formalism considered

Summary

Introduction

The Standard Model — the gauge theory based on the S U(3)C⊗S U(2)L⊗U(1)Y group — is intensively testing for its consistency and no significant experimental deviations from theoretical predictions have been found yet [1]. In a difference to LHC, electron-positron colliders allow to get detail information about the photon propagation from the energy scan in the electron-positron annihilation process e−e+ → hadrons In this case, one needs to know the photon polarization function (see, for example, [2, 3]): 3Q2 Π(Q2) = i d4 x ei(qx) 0|T jμ(x) jμ(0) |0 ,. For more complicated physical systems like astrophysical objects and the early Universe or in heavy-ion collisions one needs to take into account effects of an external medium Note that such a medium can significantly modify a wave-function and dispersion properties of a charged fermion and, as a consequence, change substantially the quantum field of the photon. We present the propagator of a charged fermion in the constant homogeneous magnetic field in the Fock-Schwinger representation, show some selected results for the two-point correlation functions and conclude with a discussion of further applications of the formalism considered
