Description

The interaction of quantum fields with classical backgrounds gives rise to several interesting effects. For the study of the non-perturbative ones, the application of suitable resummation techniques is essential.

In this talk we will review recent advances in the development of appropriate resummation techniques, with special emphasis on those related to the first quantised approach. In particular, we will show how they relate to the effect of pair creation for a variety of backgrounds, including both an electromagnetic and gravitational one.
