Schwinger Effect, Hawking Radiation and Gauge-Gravity Relation

TL;DR

This paper unifies the understanding of the Schwinger effect and Hawking radiation, exploring their connections through gauge-gravity duality and proposing a thermal interpretation in curved spacetimes.

Contribution

It introduces a unified framework for Schwinger effect and Hawking radiation, addressing gauge-gravity relations and dualities at the one-loop quantum level.

Findings

Proposes a thermal interpretation of the Schwinger effect in (A)dS space and black holes.

Shows the emission rate of charged particles relates to Schwinger effects in different spacetime regions.

Connects particle emission from near-extremal black holes to Schwinger effects in AdS and Rindler spaces.

Abstract

We present a unified picture for the Schwinger effect and the Hawking radiation and address the gauge-gravity relation and the dS-AdS duality issue at the one-loop level. We propose a thermal interpretation for the Schwinger effect in an (A)dS space and in an Reissner-Nordstr\"{o}m black hole. The emission of charged particles from the near-extremal charged black hole is proportional to the Schwinger effect in an AdS and to another Schwinger effect in a Rindler space accelerated by the surface gravity.
