An Indefinite Metric Model for Interacting Quantum Fields on Globally Hyperbolic Space-Times
We consider a relativistic ansatz for the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of a quantum field on a globally hyperbolic space-time which is motivated by certain Euclidean field theories. The Yang-Feldman asymptotic condition w.r.t. an “in”-field in a quasi-free representation of the canonic commutation relations (CCR) leads to a solution of this ansatz for the VEVs. A GNS-like construction on a ...
متن کاملSmoothness of Time Functions and the Metric Splitting of Globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes
The folk questions in Lorentzian Geometry which concerns the smoothness of time functions and slicings by Cauchy hypersurfaces, are solved by giving simple proofs of: (a) any globally hyperbolic spacetime (M, g) admits a smooth time function T whose levels are spacelike Cauchy hyperfurfaces and, thus, also a smooth global splitting M = R×S, g = −β(T , x)dT 2 + ḡT , (b) if a spacetime M admits a...
متن کاملSmooth globally hyperbolic splittings and temporal functions
Geroch’s theorem about the splitting of globally hyperbolic spacetimes is a central result in global Lorentzian Geometry. Nevertheless, this result was obtained at a topological level, and the possibility to obtain a metric (or, at least, smooth) version has been controversial since its publication in 1970. In fact, this problem has remained open until a definitive proof, recently provided by t...
متن کاملGupta-Bleuler quantization of the Maxwell field in globally hyperbolic space-times
We give a complete framework for the Gupta-Bleuler quantization of the free electromagnetic field on globally hyperbolic space-times. We describe oneparticle structures that give rise to states satisfying the microlocal spectrum condition. The field algebra in the so-called Gupta-Bleuler representations satisfies the time-slice axiom, and the corresponding vacuum states satisfy the microlocal s...
متن کاملA Non-Perturbative Construction Of The Fermionic Projector On Globally Hyperbolic Manifolds I - Space-Times Of Finite Lifetime
We give a functional analytic construction of the fermionic projector on a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold of finite lifetime. The integral kernel of the fermionic projector is represented by a two-point distribution on the manifold. By introducing an ultraviolet regularization, we get to the framework of causal fermion systems. The connection to the “negative-energy solutions” of the D...
