Infraparticle
An infraparticle is an electrically charged particle and its surrounding cloud of soft photons—of which there are infinite number, by virtue of the infrared divergence of quantum electrodynamics.〔
〕 That is, it is a dressed particle rather than a bare particle. Whenever electric charges accelerate they emit Bremsstrahlung radiation, whereby an infinite number of the virtual soft photons become real particles. However, only a finite number of these photons are detectable, the remainder falling below the measurement threshold.〔

The form of the electric field at infinity, which is determined by the velocity of a point charge, defines superselection sectors for the particle's Hilbert space. This is unlike the usual Fock space description, where the Hilbert space includes particle states with different velocities.〔

Because of their infraparticle properties, charged particles do not have a sharp delta function density of states like an ordinary particle, but instead the density of states rises like an inverse power at the mass of the particle. This collection of states which are very close in mass to m consist of the particle together with low-energy excitation of the electromagnetic field.
==Noether's theorem for gauge transformations==
In electrodynamics and quantum electrodynamics, in addition to the global U(1) symmetry related to the electric charge, there are also position dependent gauge transformations.〔
Noether's theorem states that for every infinitesimal symmetry transformation that is local (local in the sense that the transformed value of a field at a given point only depends on the field configuration in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of that point), there is a corresponding conserved charge called the Noether charge, which is the space integral of a Noether density (assuming the integral converges and there is a Noether current satisfying the continuity equation).〔
:Translation of 〕
If this is applied to the global U(1) symmetry, the result
:Q=\int d^3x \rho(\vec) (over all of space)
is the conserved charge where ρ is the charge density. As long as the surface integral
:\oint_ \vec\cdot d\vec
at the boundary at spatial infinity is zero, which is satisfied if the current density J falls off sufficiently fast, the quantity ''Q''〔''Q'' is the integral of the time component of the four-current J by definition. See 〕 is conserved. This is nothing other than the familiar electric charge.〔
〕〔

But what if there is a position-dependent (but not time-dependent) infinitesimal gauge transformation \delta \psi(\vec)=iq\alpha(\vec)\psi(\vec) where α is some function of position?
The Noether charge is now
:\int d^3x \left(\vec(\vec)\cdot \nabla\alpha(\vec)\right )
where \vec is the electric field.〔
Using integration by parts,
:\oint_ \alpha \vec\cdot d\vec + \int d^3x \alpha\left(\nabla\cdot \vec\right ).
This assumes that the state in question approaches the vacuum asymptotically at spatial infinity. The first integral is the surface integral at spatial infinity and the second integral is zero by the Gauss law. Also assume that ''α''(''r'',''θ'',''φ'') approaches ''α''(''θ'',''φ'') as ''r'' approaches infinity (in polar coordinates). Then, the Noether charge only depends upon the value of α at spatial infinity but not upon the value of ''α'' at finite values. This is consistent with the idea that symmetry transformations not affecting the boundaries are gauge symmetries whereas those that do are global symmetries. If ''α''(''θ'',''φ'') = 1 all over the ''S''2, we get the electric charge. But for other functions, we also get conserved charges (which are not so well known).〔
This conclusion holds both in classical electrodynamics as well as in quantum electrodynamics. If α is taken as the spherical harmonics, conserved scalar charges (the electric charge) are seen as well as conserved vector charges and conserved tensor charges. This is not a violation of the Coleman–Mandula theorem as there is no mass gap.〔
〕 In particular, for each direction (a fixed ''θ'' and ''φ''), the quantity
:\lim_\epsilon_0 r^2 E_r(r,\theta,\phi)
is a c-number and a conserved quantity. Using the result that states with different charges exist in different superselection sectors,〔
〕 the conclusion that states with the same electric charge but different values for the directional charges lie in different superselection sectors.〔
Even though this result is expressed in terms of a particular spherical coordinates with a given origin, translations changing the origin do not affect spatial infinity.
