Chiral anomaly, Schwinger effect, Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian and application to axion inflation
Abstract Particle production in strong electromagnetic fields is a recurring theme in solid state physics, heavy ion collisions, early universe cosmology and formal quantum field theory. In this paper we discuss the Dirac equation in a background of parallel electric and magnetic fields. We review t...
