The abstract, sentence by sentence
Photon-graviton mixing in an electromagnetic field is a process of potential interest for cosmology and astrophysics. At the tree level it has been studied by many authors. We consider the one-loop contribution to this amplitude involving a charged spin 0 or spin 1/2 particle in the loop and an arbitrary constant field. In the first part of this article, the worldline formalism is used to obtain a compact two-parameter integral representation for this amplitude, valid for arbitrary photon energies and background field strengths. The calculation is manifestly covariant througout.

This formalism was then extended to various quantum field theories in curved spacetime (see Ref. [ref] for a review) and several applications have so far been considered such as, one-loop effective actions [ref] , the one-loop graviton photon mixing in an electromagnetic field [ref] , gravitational corrections to Euler-Heisenberg lagrangians [ref] , worldline representations of quantum gravity [ref] , supergravity [ref] and higher spin field theories [ref] , and simplified methods for anomaly computations [ref] , just to name a few.
