Probing the quantum vacuum : pertubative effective action approach in quantum electrodynamics and its application /

This review is devoted to an investigation of the physical properties of the vacuum of quantum electrodynamics, making use of the perturbative-effective action approach. The effect of probing the vacuum with external perturbations is considered, and its response is analyzed after averaging over the...
