Some field theoretical aspects, such as the effective action and Schwinger pair production, are critically reviewed in strong QED. The difference of the boundary conditions on the solutions of the field equation is discussed to result in the effective action both in the Coulomb and time-dependent gauge. Finally, the apparent spin-statistics inversion is also discussed, where the WKB action for bosons (fermions) works well for fermion (boson) pair-production rate.

  1. Boundary Completion of Vacuum Persistence Probability

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Green's function prescription for the in-out effective action omits endpoint vacuum wavefunctional contributions; including them cancels the boundary obstruction and recovers the Bogoliubov vacuum persistence probability.
