In the present article we analyze the phenomenon of particle creation in a cosmological anisotropic universe when a constant electric field is present. We compute, via the Bogoliubov transformations, the density number of particles created.
We exactly calculate the particle number $N$ of scalar fields which are created from an initial vacuum in certain higher-dimensional cosmological models. The spacetimes in these models are the four-dimensional Chitre-Hartle or…

The theory of quantum fields in classical backgrounds is re-examined for the cases in which the Lagrangian is quadratic in quantum fields. Various methods that describe particle production are discussed. It is found that all methods suffer…
We show that the amount of particle production in an arbitrary cosmological background can be determined using only the late-time positive-frequency modes. We don't refer to modes at early times, so there is no need for a Bogolubov…
We present universal formulas for particle production from gravitational inhomogeneities. In the massless limit the result is strikingly simple and completely determined by the two-point function of the energy-momentum tensor that is fixed…
We perform a qualitative and thermodynamic study of two models when one takes into account adiabatic particle production. In the first one, there is a constant particle production rate, which leads to solutions depicting the current cosmic…
