Holographic Schwinger Effect In a Step Dilaton Background

Qin Chang, Sara Tahery

A step dilaton background in holography causes the Schwinger effect to respond more strongly to electromagnetic fields than conventional soft-wall models.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

the step dilaton background exhibits a substantially stronger response of the Schwinger effect to external electromagnetic fields than conventional soft-wall models, providing a novel mechanism for controlling pair production

C2weakest assumption

that the chosen step dilaton profile constitutes a physically relevant and qualitatively distinct realization of confinement whose predictions remain stable under small deformations of the background

C3one line summary

A step dilaton background in holography yields sharper suppression of the pair-production barrier and greater sensitivity of the Schwinger effect to electric and magnetic fields than conventional soft-wall models.
