We then derive an exact renormalization group equation for the effective action. We organize the QED corrections into higher and low energy parts. The former is calculated by many authors. To find the latter we perform a low energy decomposition of the nuclear charge and electron mass. The renormalization group equation yields a system of ODEs for coefficients of the expansion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-12-07T09:27:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heavy atoms", "lamb shift", "renormalization group equation yields", "exact renormalization group equation", "low energy parts" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
