29. The event of pair creation can be represented by an effective Lagrangian, in the same way as photon-photon scattering, and represents the imaginary part (i.e., absorption) of the full photon-photon Lagrangian.

39. The dispersive correction, due to the variations in the photon-field, will give rise to higher order effects in the final fluid equation for the energy density of the radiation gas. Thus, we may at this stage neglect the dispersive term from the fluid equations.
