Low-energy limit of N-photon amplitudes in a constant field: Part II

We employ the worldline formalism to derive a series representation of the low-energy limit of the N -photon amplitude in a constant background field for both scalar and spinor QED. The amplitudes are then written in terms of a single proper-time integral. The above-mentioned series representation terminates when considering a constant crossed field. This allows us to obtain even more compact expressions for these particular amplitudes for which the result of the proper-time integral, for fixed parameters, takes the form of a factorial function. In addition, we derive all helicity components of these amplitudes and express them explicitly in terms of Bernoulli numbers and spinor products.

Abstract

We employ the worldline formalism to derive a series representation of the low-energy limit of the N -photon amplitude in a constant background field for both scalar and spinor QED. The amplitudes are then written in terms of a single proper-time integral. The above-mentioned series representation terminates when considering a constant crossed field. This allows us to obtain even more compact expressions for these particular amplitudes for which the result of the proper-time integral, for fixed parameters, takes the form of a factorial function. In addition, we derive all helicity components of these amplitudes and express them explicitly in terms of Bernoulli numbers and spinor products.
