Quadratic Hamiltonians and their renormalization

Jan Derezinski (Warsaw University, Pologne)

Résumé

I will sketch general theory of quadratic bosonic Hamiltonians. Then I will describe two examples from QFT : the neutral field with position dependent mass and scalar QED in an external potential. I will show how to renormalize their vacuum energy. I will discuss when they can be interpreted as well defined operators.
