註釋Divergencies in quantum field theory referred to as OC infinite zero-point energyOCO have been a problem for 70 years. Renormalization has always been considered an unsatisfactory remedy. In 1985 it was found that Maxwell''s equations generally do not have solutions that satisfy the causality law. An additional term for magnetic dipole currents corrected this shortcoming. Rotating magnetic dipoles produce magnetic dipole currents, just as rotating electric dipoles in a material like barium titanate produce electric dipole currents. Electric dipole currents were always part of Maxwell''s equations. This book shows that the correction of Maxwell''s equations eliminates the infinite zero-point energy in quantum electrodynamics. In addition, it presents many more new results. Contents: Monopole, Dipole, and Multipole Currents; Hamiltonian Formalism; Quantization of the Pure Radiation Field; KleinOCoGordon Equation and Vacuum Constants. Readership: Senior undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and academics in quantum, atomic, theoretical, mathematical and nuclear physics."
