چکیده

We brieey review the current status of the algebraic approach to quantum eld theory on globally hyperbolic spacetimes, both axiomatic { for general eld theories, and constructive { for a linear Klein-Gordon model. We recall the concept of F-locality, introduced in the latter context in BS Kay: Rev. and explain how it can be formulated at an axiomatic level for a general eld theory (as a condition on algebras-with-net-structure) on both globally hyperbolic and non globally hyperbolic space-times. We also discuss the current status of the question whether/when algebras satisfying F-locality can exist for the Klein-Gordon model on spacetimes which are chronology violating.

Quantum Fields in Curved Spacetimes and Semiclassical Approaches: A Workshop Summary

I briefly review some of the recent progress in quantum field theory in curved spacetime and other aspects of semiclassical gravity, as reported at the D3 Workshop at GR15. The study of the behavior of quantum fields in curved spacetime and other semiclassical gravitational phenomena began in earnest in the late 1960’s with the study of particle creation effects in cosmology. It then received e...

Application of linear hyperbolic PDE to linear quantum fields in curved spacetimes: especially black holes, time machines and a new semi-local vacuum concept

Several situations of physical importance may be modelled by linear quantum fields propagating in fixed spacetime-dependent classical background fields. For example, the quantumDirac field in a strong and/or time-dependent external electromagnetic field accounts for the creation of electron-positron pairs out of the vacuum. Also, the theory of linear quantum fields propagating on a given backgr...

Duality of Coordinates and Matter Fields in Curved Spacetime

We show that there exists a duality between the local coordinates and the solutions of the Klein-Gordon equation in curved spacetime in the same sense as in the Minkowski spacetime. However, the duality in curved spacetime does not have the same generality as in flat spacetime and it holds only if the system satisfies certain constraints. We derive these constraints and the basic equations of d...

Advances on String Theory in Curved Space Times

String Quantum Gravity is motivated and introduced. Advances in the study of the classical and quantum string dynamics in curved spacetime are reported : In 1987, we started a programme [1] to study the string dynamics in curved spacetime and its associated physical phenomena. This study revealed new insights and new physical phenomena with respect to string propagation in flat spacetime (and w...

covariant quantization and the Dirac field

Canonical Hamiltonian field theory in curved spacetime is formulated in a manifestly covariant way. Second quantization is achieved invoking a correspondence principle between the Poisson bracket of classical fields and the commutator of the corresponding quantum operators. The Dirac theory is investigated and it is shown that, in contrast to the case of bosonic fields, in curved spacetime, the...
