Quantum mechanical path integrals and thermal radiation in static curved spacetimes
Quantum mechanical path integrals [1–4], also called first quantised path integrals, have been applied to some problems in curved spacetimes [5], such as to cosmological and black-holes issues [6–11]. A remarkable theoretical prediction in semi-classical gravity is that of the thermal and quantum radiation of black holes [12,13]. This result is recovered again in the present paper within the fo...
متن کاملThermal radiation in non-static curved spacetimes: quantum mechanical path integrals and configuration space topology
A quantum mechanical path integral derivation is given of a thermal propagator in non-static Gui spacetime. The thermal nature of the propagator is understood in terms of homotopically non-trivial paths in the configuration space appropriate to tortoise coordinates. The connection to thermal emission from collapsing black holes is discussed. Typeset using REVTEX Supported by the Société Académi...
متن کاملThermal Green's functions from quantum-mechanical path integrals.
In this paper it is shown how the generating functional for Green’s functions in relativistic quantum field theory and in thermal field theory can be evaluated in terms of a standard quantum mechanical path integral. With this calculational approach one avoids the loop-momentum integrals usually encountered in Feynman perturbation theory, although with thermal Green’s functions, a discrete sum ...
متن کاملTrace anomalies and the string - inspired definition of quantum - mechanical path integrals in curved space
We consider quantum-mechanical path integrals for non-linear sigma models on a circle defined by the string-inspired method of Strassler, where one considers periodic quantum fluctuations about a center-of-mass coordinate. In this approach one finds incorrect answers for the local trace anomalies of the corresponding n-dimensional field theories in curved space. The quantum field theory approac...
متن کاملQuantum Inequalities in Curved Two Dimensional Spacetimes
In quantum field theory there exist states for which the energy density is negative. It is important that these negative energy densities satisfy constraints, such as quantum inequalities, to minimize possible violations of causality, the second law of thermodynamics, and cosmic censorship. In this paper I show that conformally invariant scalar and Dirac fields satisfy quantum inequalities in t...
