Emergent Coulomb forces in reducible Quantum Electrodynamics
Jan Naudts
TL;DR
This paper proposes a mathematically rigorous version of QED where Coulomb forces are mediated by transversely polarized photons and employs a reducible representation to address inconsistencies in standard QED.
Contribution
It introduces a novel approach to QED by assuming Coulomb forces are carried by transverse photons and using a reducible representation to improve mathematical consistency.
Findings
Addresses mathematical inconsistencies of standard QED
Proposes Coulomb forces mediated by transverse photons
Utilizes reducible representation for canonical relations
Abstract
This paper discusses an attempt to develop a mathematically rigorous theory of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). It deviates from the standard version of QED mainly in two aspects: it is assumed that the Coulomb forces are carried by transversely polarized photons, and a reducible representation of the canonical commutation and anti-commutation relations is used. Both interventions together should suffice to eliminate the mathematical inconsistencies of standard QED.
