The Causal Action in Minkowski Space and Surface Layer Integrals

Felix Finster

Fakultät für Mathematik, Universität Regensburg, D-93040 Regensburg, Germany

Abstract: The Lagrangian of the causal action principle is computed in Minkowski space for Dirac wave functions interacting with classical electromagnetism and linearized gravity in the limiting case when the ultraviolet cutoff is removed. Various surface layer integrals are computed in this limiting case.

Keywords: causal action, surface layer integral, special relativity, Dirac field, Maxwell field.
