Multidimensional Worldline Instantons
We extend the worldline instanton technique to compute the vacuum pair production rate for spatially inhomogeneous electric background fields, with the spatial inhomogeneity being genuinely two or three dimensional, both for the magnitude and direction of the electric field. Other techniques, such as WKB, have not been applied to such higher dimensional problems. Our method exploits the instant...
متن کاملOpen string pair creation from worldsheet instantons
Worldline instantons provide a particularly elegant way to derive Schwinger’s well-known formula for the pair creation rate due to a constant electric field in quantum electrodynamics. In this note, we show how to extend this method to the corresponding problem of open string pair creation.
متن کاملSchwinger Pair Production via Instantons in a Strong Electric Field
In the space-dependent gauge, each mode of the Klein-Gordon equation in a strong electric field takes the form of a time-independent Schrödinger equation with a potential barrier. We propose that the singleand multi-instantons of quantum tunneling may be related with the singleand multi-pair production of bosons and the relative probability for the no-pair production is determined by the total ...
متن کاملComplex Instantons and Charged Rotating Black Hole Pair Creation
We consider the general process of pair-creation of charged rotating black holes. We find that instantons which describe this process are necessarily complex due to regularity requirements. However their associated probabilities are real, and fully consistent with the interpretation that the entropy of a charged rotating black hole is the logarithm of the number of its quantum states. Black hol...
متن کاملResidues and World-Sheet Instantons
We reconsider the question of which Calabi-Yau compactifications of the heterotic string are stable under world-sheet instanton corrections to the effective space-time superpotential. For instance, compactifications described by (0, 2) linear sigma models are believed to be stable, suggesting a remarkable cancellation among the instanton effects in these theories. Here, we show that this cancel...
