Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

We consider the Dirac equation and Maxwell’s electrodynamics in ℝ×S3 spacetime, where a three-dimensional sphere is the Hopf bundle S3→S2. The method of nonperturbative quantization of interacting Dirac and Maxwell fields is suggested. The corresponding operator equations and the infinite set of the Schwinger–Dyson equations for Green’s functions is written down. To illustrate the suggested scheme of nonperturbative quantization, we write a simplified set of equations describing some physical situation. Additionally, we discuss the properties of quantum states and operators of interacting fields.
