Fluctuation-dissipation theorem and the Unruh effect of scalar and Dirac fields

نویسنده

چکیده

We present a simple and systematic method to calculate the Rindler noise, which is relevant to the analysis of the Unruh effect, by using the fluctuation-dissipative theorem. To do this, we calculate the dissipative coefficient explicitly from the equations of motion of the detector and the field. This method gives not only the correct answer but also a hint as to the origin of the apparent statistics inversion effect. Moreover, this method is generalized to the Dirac field, by using the fermionic fluctuation-dissipation theorem. We can thus confirm that the fermionic fluctuation-dissipation theorem is working properly.

Drift, drag and Brownian motion in the Davies-Unruh bath

An interesting feature of the Davies-Unruh effect is that a uniformly accelerated observer sees an isotropic thermal spectrum of particles even though there is a preferred direction in this context, determined by the direction of the acceleration g. We investigate the thermal fluctuations in the Unruh bath by studying the Brownian motion of particles in the bath, especially as regards to isotro...

The Unruh thermal spectrum through scalar and fermion tunneling

The thermal spectrum seen by accelerated observers in Minkowski space – known as the Unruh effect – is derived within the tunneling mechanism. Both Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac spectrum is derived by considering tunneling of scalar and spin half particles respectively, across the accelerated Rindler horizon. Full solutions of Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations in the Rindler metric are employed ...

SADDLE POINT VARIATIONAL METHOD FOR DIRAC CONFINEMENT

A saddle point variational (SPV ) method was applied to the Dirac equation as an example of a fully relativistic equation with both negative and positive energy solutions. The effect of the negative energy states was mitigated by maximizing the energy with respect to a relevant parameter while at the same time minimizing it with respect to another parameter in the wave function. The Cornell pot...

Fate of oscillating scalar fields in the thermal bath and their cosmological implications

Abstract Relaxation process of a coherent scalar field oscillation in the thermal bath is investigated using nonequilibrium quantum field theory. The Langevin-type equation of motion is obtained which has a memory term and both additive and multiplicative noise terms. The dissipation rate of the oscillating scalar field is calculated for various interactions such as Yukawa coupling, threebody s...

Uniformly Accelerated Charge in a Quantum Field: From Radiation Reaction to Unruh Effect

We present a stochastic theory for the nonequilibrium dynamics of charges moving in a quantum scalar field based on the worldline influence functional and the close-time-path (CTP or in-in) coarse-grained effective action method. We summarize (1) the steps leading to a derivation of a modified AbrahamLorentz-Dirac equation whose solutions describe a causal semiclassical theory free of runaway s...
