We use for this purpose quantum electrodynamics in the covariant gauge. We show that a finite one-loop result for such angular momentum can be obtained without invoking any renormalization procedure. We compare it to the classical estimation relying on a short-distance cutoff.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-08-16T17:17:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "electromagnetic angular momentum", "one-loop studies", "purpose quantum electrodynamics", "study angular momentum", "finite one-loop result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
