Description
Summary:The process of the photon splitting, γ → γγ, is investigated in strongly magnetized vacuum with taking into account positronium influence. The dispersion properties of photons and the new polarization selection rules are obtained. The absorption rate of the leading photon splitting channels are calculated with taking account of the photon dispersion and wave function renormalization.
