Universal aspects of holographic Schwinger effect in general backgrounds
read the original abstract
We consider universal aspects of a holographic Schwinger effect in general backgrounds with an external homogeneous electric field. The argument is based on the potential analysis developed in our previous work. Under some conditions, there always exists a critical electric field, above which the potential barrier vanishes and the system becomes unstable catastrophically. The critical value agrees with the one obtained from the Dirac-Born-Infeld action. For general confining backgrounds, we show that the Schwinger effect does not occur when the electric field is weaker than the confining string tension.

Holographic Schwinger Effect In a Step Dilaton Background
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.
