Vacuum polarization in the Schwarzschild spacetime and dimensional reduction
A massless scalar field minimally coupled to gravity and propagating in the Schwarzschild spacetime is considered. After dimensional reduction under spherical symmetry the resulting 2D field theory is canonically quantized and the renormalized expectation values 〈Tab〉 of the relevant energy-momentum tensor operator are investigated. Asymptotic behaviours and analytical approximations are given ...
متن کاملKilling Reduction of 5-Dimensional Spacetimes
In a 5-dimensional spacetime (M, gab) with a Killing vector field ξ a which is either everywhere timelike or everywhere spacelike, the collection of all trajectories of ξ gives a 4-dimensional space S. The reduction of (M, gab) is studied in the geometric language, which is a generalization of Geroch’s method for the reduction of 4-dimensional spacetime. A 4dimensional gravity coupled to a vect...
متن کاملLinking and Causality in ( 2 + 1 ) - Dimensional Static Spacetimes
Given a (d + 1)-dimensional spacetime (M, g), one can consider the set N of all its null geodesics. If (M, g) is globally hyperbolic then this set is naturally a smooth (2d − 1)-manifold. The sky of an event x ∈ M is the subset X = {γ ∈ N : x ∈ γ} and is an embedded submanifold of N diffeomorphic to S. Low conjectured that if d = 2 then x, y ∈ M are causally related iff X, Y ⊂ N are linked (in ...
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...
متن کاملThe Causal Structure of Two-Dimensional Spacetimes
We investigate the causal structure of (1 + 1)-dimensional spacetimes. For two sets of field equations we show that at least locally any spacetime is a solution for an appropriate choice of the matter fields. For the theories under consideration we investigate how smoothness of their black hole solutions affects time orientation. We show that if an analog to Hawking’s area theorem holds in two ...
