Induced energy-momentum tensor of the scalar field in 3D de Sitter QED

In this work, we derive the renormalized expectation value of the energy--momentum tensor of a quantized charged scalar field in three-dimensional de Sitter spacetime $\mathrm{dS}_{3}$ in the presence of a uniform electric field. Using the adiabatic regularization method, ultraviolet divergences are systematically removed, yielding finite expressions for all components of the induced tensor. We analyze the behavior of the renormalized energy--momentum tensor in both the strong-field and infrared regimes. In the strong-field limit, the induced energy density exhibits a quadratic dependence on the electric field strength; however, this leading contribution is dominated by vacuum polarization effects rather than directly by the Bogoliubov particle-production component. In the infrared regime, the tensor shows a pronounced inverse-mass dependence, indicating strong infrared sensitivity characteristic of light scalar fields in de Sitter spacetime. In the conformally coupled massless limit, the renormalized trace vanishes, as expected from the absence of a genuine Weyl anomaly in odd-dimensional spacetimes. These results provide a precise characterization of vacuum polarization and infrared effects in three-dimensional de Sitter scalar QED.

Physical renormalization condition for de Sitter QED

We considered a new renormalization condition for the vacuum expectation values of the scalar and spinor currents induced by a homogeneous and constant electric field background in de Sitter spacetime. Following a semiclassical argument, the condition named maximal subtraction imposes the exponential suppression on the massive charged particle limit of the renormalized currents. The maximal subtraction changes the behaviors of the induced currents previously obtained by the conventional minimal subtraction scheme. The maximal subtraction is favored for a couple of physically decent predictions including the identical asymptotic behavior of the scalar and spinor currents, the removal of the infrared (IR) hyperconductivity from the scalar current, and the finite current for the massless fermion.

Fermionic Schwinger effect and induced current in de Sitter space

We explore Schwinger effect of spin 1/2 charged particles with static electric field in 1+3 dimensional de Sitter spacetime. We analytically calculate the vacuum expectation value of the spinor current which is induced by the produced particles in the electric field. The renormalization is performed with the adiabatic subtraction scheme. We find that the current becomes negative, namely it flows in the direction opposite to the electric field, if the electric field is weaker than a certain threshold value depending on the fermion mass, which is also known to happen in the case of scalar charged particles in 1+3 de Sitter spacetime. Contrary to the scalar case, however, the IR hyperconductivity is absent in the spinor case.

Point splitting renormalization of Schwinger induced current in de Sitter spacetime

The covariant and gauge invariant calculation of the current expectation value in the homogeneous electric field in 1+3 dimensional de Sitter spacetime is shown. The result accords with previous work obtained by using adiabatic subtraction scheme. We therefore conclude the counterintuitive behaviors of the current in the infrared (IR) regime such as IR hyperconductivity and negative current are not artifacts of the renormalization scheme, but are real IR effects of the spacetime.
