‘Thermal’ ambience and fluctuations in classical field theory
A plane monochromatic wave will not appear monochromatic to a noninertial observer. We show that this feature leads to a ‘thermal’ ambience in an accelerated frame even in classical field theory. When a real, monochromatic, mode of a scalar field is Fourier analyzed with respect to the proper time of a uniformly accelerating observer, the resulting power spectrum consists of three terms: (i) a ...
متن کاملOn Thermal Entropy in Quantum Field Theory
Standard entropy calculations in quantum field theory, when applied to a subsystem of definite volume, exhibit area-dependent UV divergences that make a thermodynamic interpretation troublesome. Such divergences cannot be reabsorbed by local counterterms although, with a rather unusual procedure, they can be subtracted from the final result. A key issue here is which set of quantum degrees of f...
متن کاملInertial Mass and Vacuum Fluctuations in Quantum Field Theory
Motivated by recent works on the origin of inertial mass, we revisit the relationship between the mass of charged particles and zero-point electromagnetic fields. To this end we first introduce a simple model comprising a scalar field coupled to stochastic or thermal electromagnetic fields. Then we check if it is possible to start from a zero bare mass in the renormalization process and express...
متن کاملThermal and Quantum Fluctuations around Domain Walls
We compute thermal and quantum fluctuations in the background of a domain wall in a scalar field theory at finite temperature using the exact scalar propagator in the subspace orthogonal to the wall’s translational mode. The propagator makes it possible to calculate terms of any order in the semiclassical expansion of the partition function of the system. The leading term in the expansion corre...
متن کاملExploring the implications of the laws and principles of quantum physics in the field of talent (quantum theory of talent)
The issue of talent-discovering is one of the most important issues in the field of education and research that has always been a concern for educational systems. Studying the issues of identifying and guiding talented students can illuminate a large part of the activities of the executors and practitioners in order to accomplish their mission effectively. On the other hand, quantum physics has...
