With increasing temperatures, Schwinger pair production changes from a quantum tunneling to a classical, thermal process, determined by a worldline sphaleron. We show this and calculate the corresponding rate of pair production for both spinor and sc... Read More about Worldline sphaleron for thermal Schwinger pair production.

Magnetic monopole creation (2018)

Elementary magnetic monopoles have never been experimentally observed but there are credible theoretical reasons to believe that they may nonetheless exist. This thesis gives partial answers to the questions: if magnetic monopoles do exist, can we cr... Read More about Magnetic monopole creation.
