On spectrum of vacuum energy
We discuss the problem of the spectral function of vacuum energy. In traditional approach the ultraviolet divergencies of the vacuum energy are cancelled by imposing relations between different quantum fields and their masses. The emergent theories suggest that the microscopic degrees of the underlying quantum vacuum add to the spectral function and their contribution cancels the diverging zero...
متن کاملVacuum Energy and Θ–vacuum
The highly non-trivial structure of the θ–vacuum encodes many of the fundamental properties of gauge theories. In particular, the response of the vacuum to the θ–term perturbation is sensitive to the existence of confinement, chiral symmetry breaking, etc. We analyze the dependence of the vacuum energy density on θ around two special values, θ = 0 and θ = π. The existence or not of singular beh...
متن کاملVacuum energy on orbifold factors of spheres
The vacuum energy is calculated for a free, conformally-coupled scalar field on the orbifold space-time IR × S2/Γ where Γ is a finite subgroup of O(3) acting with fixed points. The energy vanishes when Γ is composed of pure rotations but not otherwise. It is shown on general grounds that the same conclusion holds for all even-dimensional factored spheres and the vacuum energies are given as gen...
متن کاملComments on Vacuum Energy of Harmonic Oscillator
Unlike its classical counterpart, the ground state of a quantum harmonic oscillator yields a non-zero value which has led to a significant problem regarding the cosmological constant. We will show that since observables, including that of energy, serve as a reference frame for an observer, not only is the harmonic oscillator fluctuating at the ground level, so is the reference frame of the obse...
متن کاملVacuum Energy
There appears to be three, perhaps related, ways of approaching the nature of vacuum energy. The first is to say that it is just the lowest energy state of a given, usually quantum, system. The second is to equate vacuum energy with the Casimir energy. The third is to note that an energy difference from a complete vacuum might have some long range effect, typically this energy difference is int...
