Effective Electromagnetic Interaction Potential in Flat and Curved Spacetimes

We present a summary of the main steps in the construction of the effective relativistic interaction potential between two charged Dirac particles in the presence of a background weak gravitational field, by extending a procedure previously used for electrodynamics in Minkowski space. We consider th...

Description
Summary:We present a summary of the main steps in the construction of the effective relativistic interaction potential between two charged Dirac particles in the presence of a background weak gravitational field, by extending a procedure previously used for electrodynamics in Minkowski space. We consider the full two-body problem and apply the method to the hydrogen atom.
