چکیده
1.1 Preliminaries. Let (L, gL μν) be a Lorentzian manifold which is supposed to be globally hyperbolic. This manifold is said (locally) static whenever it admits a (local) time-like Killing vector ∂t normal to a Cauchy surface Σ. In other words, the manifold admits a (local) coordinate frame (x0, x1, x2, x3) ≡ (t, ~x), where g0i = 0 (i = 1, 2, 3) and ∂tgμν = 0. Let us consider a real scalar field φ propagating in L, its evolution equation can be written down

Abstract: Some general properties of local ζ-function procedures to regularize (and renormalize) some quantities in D-dimensional (Euclidean) Quantum Field Theory in curved background are rigorously discussed. A comparison is carried out with respect the more known point-splitting procedure. The results are given in general closed manifolds and a few comments are given for nonclosed manifolds t...

Abstract: We conclude the rigorous analysis of the previous paper [Mo98] concerning the relation between the (Euclidean) point-splitting approach and the local ζ-function procedure to renormalize physical quantities at one-loop in (Euclidean) QFT in curved spacetime. The case of the stress tensor is now considered in general D-dimensional closed manifolds for positive scalar operators −∆ + V (x...
متن کاملFe b 19 99 Cosmological Constant in de - Sitter Spacetime ∗
With the basic cosmological relations that agree with the recent observations, simple expressions are suggested concerning the value of cosmological constant(Λ). A large contribution of quantum vacuum to the energy momentum tensor does not agree with the observed cosmos. However,one requires the presence of positive Λ to make the various observations consistent. After a review of the effect of ...
متن کاملFe b 19 99 Remark on the strength of singularities with a C 0 metric
Recently Nolan constructed a spherically-symmetric spacetime admitting a spacelike curvature singularity with a regular C metric. We show here that this singularity is in fact weak. In a recent paper Nolan [1] constructed a simple spherically-symmetric spacetime which includes a spacelike curvature singularity with a continuous (C) metric. The goal was to use this example to demonstrate that a ...
