One-loop energy-momentum tensor in QED with electriclike background
TL;DR: In this article, the mean energy-momentum tensor and current density of Dirac's field on a constant electric-like background were derived for two initial states: the vacuum state and the thermal equilibrium state.

Thermal Schwinger pair production at arbitrary coupling
Oliver Gould,Arttu Rajantie +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the rate of thermal Schwinger pair production at arbitrary coupling in weak external fields was calculated independently of many properties of the charged particles produced, in particular their spin and whether they are electric or magnetic.

Magnetic fields from cosmological phase transitions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the strength of the electromagnetic fields produced due to the electroweak phase transition in the early universe and show that the resulting electromagnetic fields can also produce magnetic fields of other unbroken gauge symmetries such as SU(3)c.

Covariant Calculations at Finite Temperature: The Relativistic Plasma
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that finite-temperature calculations in field theory are manifestly Lorentz covariant at all stages if the Minkowski-space form of the temperature-dependent propagators is used and if the four-velocity of the heat bath is taken into account.
