Finite temperature effective potential on hyperbolic spacetimes.
One major area of research in quantum field theory in curved spacetime in the 1980s has been on interacting quantum fields and their implications ([1, 2], for a review see [3]). The central object of physical interest is the effective potential which should define the dynamics of the early universe at scales bigger than the Planck scale. In particular in new inflationary models [4, 5] the effec...
متن کاملHyperbolic conservation laws on spacetimes. A finite volume scheme based on differential forms
We consider nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws, posed on a differential (n + 1)-manifold with boundary referred to as a spacetime, and in which the “flux” is defined as a flux field of n-forms depending on a parameter (the unknown variable). We introduce a formulation of the initial and boundary value problem which is geometric in nature and is more natural than the vector field approach re...
متن کاملQuantum Energy Inequalities and Local Covariance I: Globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes
We begin a systematic study of Quantum Energy Inequalities (QEIs) in relation to local covari-ance. We define notions of locally covariant QEIs of both 'absolute' and 'difference' types and show that existing QEIs satisfy these conditions. Local covariance permits us to place constraints on the renormalised stress-energy tensor in one spacetime using QEIs derived in another, in subregions where...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theory on Certain Non-Globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes
We study real linear scalar eld theory on two simple non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes containing closed timelike curves within the framework proposed by Kay for algebraic quantum eld theory on non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes. In this context, a spacetime (M; g) is said to be `F-quantum compatible' with a eld theory if it admits a -algebra of local observables for that theory which satis es...
متن کاملFlat Spacetimes with Compact Hyperbolic Cauchy Surfaces
We study the flat (n+1)-spacetimes Y admitting a Cauchy surface diffeomorphic to a compact hyperbolic n-manifold M . Roughly speaking, we show how to construct a canonical future complete one, Yρ, among all such spacetimes sharing a same holonomy ρ. We study the geometry of Yρ in terms of its canonical cosmological time (CT). In particular we study the asymptotic behaviour of the level surfaces...
