Kinetic description of fermion production in the oscillator representation

Astrophysics 2014-10-13 v1

Abstract

We investigate the fermion creation in quantum kinetic theory by applying ``oscillator representation'' approach, which was earlier developed for bosonic systems. We show that in some particular cases (Yukawa-like interaction, fixed direction of external vector field) resulting Kinetic Equation (KE) reduces to KE obtained by time-dependent Bogoliubov transformation method. We conclude ``oscillator representation'' approach to be more universal for the derivation of quantum transport equations in strong space-homogeneous time-dependent fields. We discuss some possible applications of obtained KE to cosmology and particle production in strong laser fields.
