Effects of Vacuum Polarization in Strong Magnetic Fields with an Allowance Made for the Anomalous Magnetic Moments of Particles
Given the anomalous magnetic moments of electrons and positrons in the
one-loop approximation, we calculate the exact Lagrangian of an intense
constant magnetic field that replaces the Heisenberg-Euler Lagrangian in
traditional quantum electrodynamics (QED). We have established that the derived
generalization of the Lagrangian is real for arbitrary magnetic fields. In a
weak field, the calculated Lagrangian matches the standard Heisenberg-Euler
formula. In extremely strong fields, the field dependence of the Lagrangian
completely disappears, and the Lagrangian tends to a constant determined by the
anomalous magnetic moments of the particles.Comment: 19 pages, 3 figure
