RELATIVISTIC QUANTUM FIELD THEORY FOR CONDENSED SYSTEMS (II): RENORMALIZATION PROCEDURE

Abstract

We proposed Atomic Schwinger–Dyson method (ASD method) in previous paper, which was a nonperturbative and relativistic quantum field theory for a finite baryon density. We think it is important to show the significance of renormarization in order to get real physical predictions. Moreover, the real value of physical mass, electric charge and wave function are completely different from those of the non-renormalized electron and photon in mean field theory, since there are many of the particle-antiparticle creations and annihilations, particle-hole excitation, and Pauli blocking, which give an effect on bare mass, electric charge, polarization of vacuum, and self-energy. In this paper, we shows that ASD method is renormalizable theory, and that photon condensation of ASD method gave rise to Coulomb's potential and the mass shift of electron. The interacting photon and electron fields, which have physical mass and electric charge, are expressed as generalized free field equations by using the mass shift and the self-energy of those particles. We obtain the expression of an exact solution of these particles on the basis of the Green functional method.
