In the context of gauge/gravity duality, we study both probe D7-- and probe D5--branes in global Anti-de Sitter space. The dual field theory is N=4 theory on R x S^3 with added flavour. The branes undergo a geometrical phase transition in…
We first demonstrate theoretically that the computational quantum field theory is equivalent to the quantum kinetic theory for pair creation in a spatially homogeneous and time-dependent electric field, then verify numerically their…
Previous results for the pair production probability in a strong electric field with a finite longitudinal separation are generalized to the case of a finite-length flux tube with transverse confinement. The threshold length of the flux…
We determine the consistent D-brane configurations in type II nonsupersymmetric Melvin Background. The D-branes are analysed from three complementary points of view: the effective Born-Infeld action, the open string partition function and…
We investigate open string theory on backreacting D3-branes using a spacetime approach. We study in detail the half-BPS supergravity solutions describing open strings ending on D3-branes, in the near horizon of the D3-branes. We recover…
It is shown how two-dimensional states corresponding to D-branes arise in orbifolds of topologically massive gauge and gravity theories. Brane vertex operators naturally appear in induced worldsheet actions when the three-dimensional gauge…
We discuss the duality of intersecting D1-D5 branes in the low energy effective theory in the presence of electric field. This duality is found to be unbroken. We also deal with the solutions corresponding to two and three excited scalars…
Effect of spatially oscillating fields on the electron-positron pair production is studied numerically and analytically when the work done by the electric field over its spatial extent is smaller than twice the electron mass. Under large…
We study the electron-positron pair production process in strong background electric fields with spatio-temporal inhomogeneity in the time-dependent Basis Light-front Quantization approach. We calculate the observables such as the invariant…
With increasing temperatures, Schwinger pair production changes from a quantum tunnelling to a classical, thermal process, determined by a worldline sphaleron. We show this and calculate the corresponding rate of pair production for both…
String theory on $\mathrm{ AdS}_3\times \mathrm{ S}^3 \times \mathrm{ S}^3 \times \mathrm{S}^1$ with two units of NS flux through each of the two $3$-spheres (and one unit of NS flux supporting the $\mathrm{AdS}_3$ factor) was recently…
All the models of elementary particles and their interactions derived from String Theory involve a compact six-dimensional internal space. Its volume and shape should be fixed or stabilized, since otherwise massless scalar fields (moduli)…
In this review, we introduce the electrified Dp-branes intersections in the low energy effective theory. We focus on D1-D3, D1-D5 and D0-D2 branes. We give the solutions configurations in the low energy effective theory in the absence and…
We analytically investigate the Schwinger pair production in the de Sitter background by using {\em the uniform asymptotic approximation method}, and show that the equation of motion in general has two turning points, and the nature of…
Pair-creation of charged particles in a strong gauge-field background - the renowned Schwinger effect - can strongly alter the efficiency of gauge-field production during axion inflation. It is therefore crucial to have a clear…
We compute the amplitude for the radiation of massless NS-NS closed string states from the interaction of two moving D-branes. We consider particle-like D-branes with reference to 4-dimensional spacetime, in toroidal and orbifold…
We study the pair creation of point-particles and strings in a time-dependent, weak gravitational field. We find that, for massive string states, there are surprising and significant differences between the string and point-particle…
It is shown how pair production itself would almost certainly prevent the astrophysical formation of macroscopic dyadospheres, hypothetical regions, extending many electron Compton wavelengths in all directions, where the electric field…
We study the pair production, string breaking, and hadronization of a receding electron-positron pair using the bosonized version of the massive Schwinger model in quantum electrodynamics in 1+1 space-time dimensions. Specifically, we study…
We investigate the spontaneous pair production, including the Schwinger mechanism and the Hawking thermal radiation, of charged scalar particles from the near horizon region of a (near) extremal Reissner-Nordstr\"om black hole. The paradigm…
