Negative Energy Density States for the Dirac Field in Flat Spacetime
Negative energy densities in the Dirac field produced by state vectors that are the superposition of two single particle electron states are examined. I show that for such states the energy density of the field is not bounded from below and that the quantum inequalities derived for scalar fields are satisfied. I also show that it is not possible to produce negative energy densities in a scalar ...
متن کامل01 v 1 1 A pr 1 99 7 Restrictions on negative energy density in a curved spacetime
Recently a restriction (" quantum inequality-type relation ") on the (renormal-ized) energy density measured by a static observer in a " globally static " (ultrastatic) spacetime has been formulated by Pfenning and Ford for the minimally coupled scalar field, in the extension of quantum inequality-type relation on flat spacetime of Ford and Roman. They found negative lower bounds for the line i...
متن کامل5 Poincaré Connections in Flat Spacetime
In flat spacetime, as a simple 4-vector, a particle’s 4-velocity cannot be changed by translation. Parallel translation then produces constant velocity, motion without force. Here we consider richer representations of the Poincaré group of symmetries of flat spacetime in which direct sums of a 4-vector and a 2nd rank tensor are transformed. Translation then adds a non-linear connection term to ...
متن کاملNegative Energy Density in Calabi-Yau Compactifications
We show that a large class of supersymmetric compactifications, including all simply connected Calabi-Yau and G2 manifolds, have classical configurations with negative energy density as seen from four dimensions. In fact, the energy density can be arbitrarily negative – it is unbounded from below. Nevertheless, positive energy theorems show that the total ADM energy remains positive. Physical c...
متن کاملNon-Flat Regular Polytopes and Restrictions on Chiral Polytopes
An abstract polytope is flat if every facet is incident on every vertex. In this paper, we prove that no chiral polytope has flat finite regular facets and finite regular vertex-figures. We then determine the three smallest non-flat regular polytopes in each rank, and use this to show that for n > 8, a chiral n-polytope has at least 48(n− 2)(n− 2)! flags.
