The null energy condition in dynamic wormholes
We extend previous proofs that violations of the null energy condition (NEC) are a generic and universal feature of traversable wormholes to completely non-symmetric time-dependent wormholes. We show that the analysis can be phrased purely in terms of local geometry at and near the wormhole throat, and do not have to make any technical assumptions about asymptotic flatness or other global prope...
متن کاملThe Hadamard Condition and Kay's Conjecture in (axiomatic) Quantum Field Theory on Curved Space-Time
We interpret the global Hadamard condition for a two-point distribution of a Klein-Gordon neutral scalar quantum field model on an arbitrary globally hyperbolic curved space-time in terms of distinguished parametrices (of Duistermaat and Hörmander) and a wave front set spectrum condition. Microlocal results by Duistermaat and Hörmander such as the propagation of singularities theorem and the un...
متن کاملThe Averaged Null Energy Condition for General Quantum Field Theories in Two Dimensions
It is shown that the averaged null energy condition is fulfilled for a dense, translationally invariant set of vector states in any local quantum field theory in twodimensional Minkowski spacetime whenever the theory has a mass gap and possesses an energy-momentum tensor. The latter is assumed to be a Wightman field which is local relative to the observables, generates locally the translations,...
متن کاملQuantum evolution of inhomogeneities in curved space
We obtain the renormalized equations of motion for matter and semiclassical gravity in an inhomogeneous space-time. We use the functional Schrödinger picture and a simple Gaussian approximation to analyze the time evolution of the λφ4 model, and we establish the renormalizability of this nonperturbative approximation. We also show that the energy-momentum tensor in this approximation is finite ...
متن کاملAbsolute quantum energy inequalities in curved spacetime
Quantum Energy Inequalities (QEIs) are results which limit the extent to which the smeared renormalised energy density of the quantum field can be negative, when averaged along a timelike curve or over a more general timelike submanifold in spacetime. On globally hyperbolic spacetimes the minimally-coupled massive quantum Klein–Gordon field is known to obey a ‘difference’ QEI that depends on a ...
