We study the out-of-equilibrium properties of (1+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED), discretized via the staggered-fermion Schwinger model with an Abelian Z_n gauge group. We look at two relevant phenomena: first, we analyze the stability of the Dirac vacuum with respect to particle/antiparticle pair production, both spontaneous and induced by an external electric field; then, we...

After a general introduction on
Dirac and (multi-)Weyl semimetals,
I will discuss the abelian axial anomaly
in multi-Weyl and triple-point semimetals,
commenting on its physical consequences.
