Schwinger effect and backreaction in de Sitter spacetime

We consider the particle–antiparticle pairs produced by both a strong electric field and de Sitter curvature. We investigate in 1+1 D the backreaction of the pairs on the electromagnetic field. To do so we describe the canonical quantization of an electromagnetic field in de Sitter space and add in...
