Holographic Description of Noncommutative Schwinger Effect

Figure 4

The plot indicates the effective potential (in the presence of external electric field) v/s the interquark separation. The values used are and . The green line indicates , blue line for . The parameter is the ratio of the applied field to its threshold value. Note that the maximal height of the potential barrier decreases as noncommutativity increases. The red line which exhibits the threshold behavior stands for , and cyan for shows catastrophic decay of vacuum.
