Abstract
The path integral quantization of gauge theories leads to an effective Lagrangian denoted by L-eff. Its associated equation of motion is of the form d(A)F-A + 1/2J(A) = 0, where J(A) is the vacuum polarization current arising from propagation of quantum fields around the backgro und field A. In this paper we will give a more detailed description of the current J(A). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
