Abstract

The connection between Schwinger's proper-time and Feynman's path integral methods is exploited in order to obtain a space-time description of spontaneous pair creation in an external field. The relevance of classical closed trajectories in Euclidean space-time and the connection with the tunnel effect of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics are discussed.
