Questions about classical and quantum scale invariance
This is kind of a continuation of this and this previous questions.
Say one has a free "classical" field theory which is scale invariant and one develops a perturbative classical solution for an ...

Counting the modes of the vector potential in a coulomb gauge
With a view to quantising the EM field, consider a classical free field in the absence of charge and currents, we can take a coulomb gauge, $\phi=0, \partial_kA_k=0$. The physical fields in terms of ...
