We consider finitely many electrons, subject to external scalar and vector potentials, coupled to the full continuum of massless transverse photons with an ultraviolet cutoff. The natural basic variables are the standard electron density and a combined current density, the sum of the paramagnetic current density and a field-induced current density generated by the quantized vector potential. We prove representability…","category":"research","comments":0,"disputed":false,"division":"math","mentions":0,"ai_models":["ChatGPT","Claude Opus"],"discussed":0,"published":"2026-11-02","reactions":{},"withdrawn":false,"authorship":"no-human-author-claimed","formalized":false,"human_understanding":"all"}
