Averaged null energy condition and difference inequalities in quantum field theory.
For a large class of quantum states, all local (pointwise) energy conditions widely used in relativity are violated by the renormalized stress-energy tensor of a quantum field. In contrast, certain nonlocal positivity constraints on the quantum stress-energy tensor might hold quite generally, and this possibility has received considerable attention in recent years. In particular, it is now know...
متن کاملThe Averaged Null Energy Condition for General Quantum Field Theories in Two Dimensions
It is shown that the averaged null energy condition is fulfilled for a dense, translationally invariant set of vector states in any local quantum field theory in twodimensional Minkowski spacetime whenever the theory has a mass gap and possesses an energy-momentum tensor. The latter is assumed to be a Wightman field which is local relative to the observables, generates locally the translations,...
متن کاملAveraged energy conditions and quantum inequalities.
In this paper, connections are uncovered between the averaged weak (AWEC) and averaged null (ANEC) energy conditions, and quantum inequality restrictions (uncertainty principle-type inequalities) on negative energy. In twoand four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, we examine quantized, free massless, minimally-coupled scalar fields . In a two-dimensional spatially compactified Minkowski universe...
متن کاملQuantum Energy Inequalities and Stability Conditions in Quantum Field Theory
We give a brief review of quantum energy inequalities (QEIs) and then discuss two lines of work which suggest that QEIs are closely related to various natural properties of quantum field theory which may all be regarded as stability conditions. The first is based on joint work with Verch, and draws connections between microscopic stability (microlocal spectrum condition), mesoscopic stability (...
متن کاملHigh-Energy Behavior in Quantum Field Theory
where o (E~,Ev) is the theoretical scattering cross section for electrons of initial energy E1 and final energy E2 and m and m' are the probabilities for radiation before and after scattering, respectively. For an elastic cross section, o(E~,Ev) is a delta function and the integrals of Fq. (AS) can be evaluated approximately to yield Eq. (1) of the text if E4 in that equation is replaced by Ep....
