Vacuum birefringence at one-loop in a supercritical magnetic field superposed with a weak electric field and application to pulsar magnetosphere

Abstract Recent ultra-intense lasers of subcritical fields and proposed X-ray polarimetry for highly magnetized neutron stars of supercritical fields have attracted attention to vacuum birefringence, a unique feature of the nonlinear vacuum under strong electromagnetic fields. We propose a formulati...
