dc.description.abstract |
We present a description of electrons propagating in an elliptically polarized, plane wave background which includes circular and linear polarizations as special cases. We calculate, to all orders in the background field, the two point function and relate it to various expressions found in the literature. The background field induced mass shift of the electron is shown to be polarization independent in the full elliptic class. The matrix nature of this mass shift in the fermionic theory is discussed. The extent to which a momentum space description is possible for this system is clarified. | |
