On quantization in background scalar fields

Abstract

We consider (0+1) and (1+1) dimensional Yukawa theory in various scalar field backgrounds, which are solving classical equations of motion: ϕ¨cl=0\ddot{\phi}_{cl} = 0 or ϕcl=0\Box \phi_{cl} = 0, correspondingly. The (0+1)--dimensional theory we solve exactly. In (1+1)--dimensions we consider background fields of the form ϕcl=Et\phi_{cl} = E\, t and ϕcl=Ex\phi_{cl} = E\, x, which are inspired by the constant electric field. Here EE is a constant. We study the backreaction problem by various methods, including the dynamics of a coherent state. We also calculate loop corrections to the correlation functions in the theory using the Schwinger--Keldysh diagrammatic technique.
