Hello everybody.
I'm interested in some problems of bound states in external fields in QFT (especially QED).
I wonder are there any lectures/books or reviews which provide modern treatment of this subject?
I would like to learn more about general formalism and applications in QED (I allready know something about from Weinberg and Itzykson&Zyuber).

Paul Hoyer has some lecture on bound states in QED, QCD on the arxiv. Here is the link: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.5005v1.pdf
Thank you!
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
