چکیده
Quantum complex scalar field in the two-dimensional spacetime with closed timelike curves and a time-machine problem Abstract It is considered the quantum complex scalar field which obeys the authomorphic condition in the two-dimensional spacetime with closed timelike curves and the chronology horizon. The renormal-ized stress-energy tensor is obtained. It is shown that the value of the stress-energy tensor is regular at the chronology horizon for specific authomorphic parameters. Thus the particular example of field configuration is given for which the Hawking's chronology protection conjecture is violated.

Must Time Machine Be Unstable against Vacuum Fluctuations ?
In the appearance of absorption material, the quantum vacuum fluctuations of all kinds of fields may be smoothed out and the spacetime with time machine may be stable against vacuum fluctuations. The chronology protection conjecture might break down, and the anti-chronology protection conjecture might hold: There is no law of physics preventing the appearance of closed timelike curves. PACS num...
متن کاملChronology protection in two-dimensional dilaton gravity.
The global structure of 1 + 1 dimensional compact Universe is studied in two-dimensional model of dilaton gravity. First we give a classical solution corresponding to the spacetime in which a closed time-like curve appears, and show the instability of this spacetime due to the existence of matters. We also observe quantum version of such a spacetime having closed timelike curves never reappear ...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theory on Certain Non-Globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes
We study real linear scalar eld theory on two simple non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes containing closed timelike curves within the framework proposed by Kay for algebraic quantum eld theory on non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes. In this context, a spacetime (M; g) is said to be `F-quantum compatible' with a eld theory if it admits a -algebra of local observables for that theory which satis es...

We discuss causality properties of extra-dimensional theories allowing for effectively superluminal bulk shortcuts. Such shortcuts for sterile neutrinos have been discussed as a solution to the puzzling LSND and MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation results. We focus here on the subcategory of asymmetrically warped brane spacetimes and argue that scenarios with two extra dimensions may allow for timel...

We study the massless scalar field on asymptotically flat spacetimes with closed timelike curves (CTC’s), in which all future-directed CTC’s traverse one end of a handle (wormhole) and emerge from the other end at an earlier time. For a class of static geometries of this type, and for smooth initial data with all derivatives in L2 on I−, we prove existence of smooth solutions
