Divergence of the Quantum Stress Tensor on the Cauchy Horizon in 2-d Dust Collapse
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that the quantum stress tensor for a massless scalar field in two dimensional non-self-similar Tolman-Bondi dust collapse and Vaidya radiation collapse models diverges on the Cauchy horizon, if the latter exists. The two dimensional model is obtained by suppressing angular coordinates in the corresponding four dimensional spherical model.

Reissner Nordström Background Metric in Dynamical Co-ordinates: Exceptional Behaviour of Hadamard States
We cast the Reissner Nordstrom solution in a particular co-ordinate system which shows dynamical evolution from initial data. The initial data for the E < M case is regular. This procedure enables us to treat the metric as a collapse to a singularity. It also implies that one may assume Wald axioms to be valid globally in the Cauchy development, especially when Hadamard states are chosen. We ca...
متن کاملNaked Singularities and Quantum Gravity - Interpreting the Quantum Divergence in Spherical Collapse -
There are known models of spherical gravitational collapse in which the collapse ends in a naked shell-focusing singularity for some initial data. If a massless scalar field is quantized on the classical background provided by such a star, it is found that the outgoing quantum flux of the scalar field diverges in the approach to the Cauchy horizon. In this paper we provide an interpretation for...
متن کاملQuantum elds interacting with colliding plane waves: the stress-energy tensor and backreaction
Following a previous work on the quantization of a massless scalar eld in a space-time representing the head on collision of two plane waves which fucus into a Killing-Cauchy horizon, we compute the renormalized expectation value of the stress-energy tensor of the quantum eld near that horizon in the physical state which corresponds to the Minkowski vacuum before the collision of the waves. It ...

I demonstrate that, under certain circumstances, regions of negative energy density can undergo gravitational collapse into a black hole. The resultant exterior black hole spacetimes necessarily have negative mass and non-trivial topology. A full theory of quantum gravity, in which topologychanging processes take place, could give rise to such spacetimes. 2 Internet: [email protected] Th...
