On the Renormalization Procedure for Quantum Fields with Modified Dispersion Relations in Curved Spacetimes
نویسنده
چکیده
We review our recent results on the renormalization procedure for a free quantum scalar field with modified dispersion relations in curved spacetimes. For dispersion relations containing up to 2s powers of the spatial momentum, the subtraction necessary to renormalize 〈φ〉 and 〈Tμν〉 depends on s. We first describe our previous analysis for spatially flat Friedman-Robertson-Walker and Bianchi type I metrics. Then we present a new power counting analysis for general background metrics in the weak field approximation.

Time-Dependent Real-Space Renormalization Group Method
In this paper, using the tight-binding model, we extend the real-space renormalization group method to time-dependent Hamiltonians. We drive the time-dependent recursion relations for the renormalized tight-binding Hamiltonian by decimating selective sites of lattice iteratively. The formalism is then used for the calculation of the local density of electronic states for a one dimensional quant...

Quantum Weak Energy Inequalities (QWEIs) have been established for a variety of quantum field theories in both flat and curved spacetimes. Dirac fields are known (by a result of Fewster and Verch) to satisfy QWEIs under very general circumstances, although an explicit bound has hitherto been lacking. In this paper we present a new and explicit QWEI bound for Dirac fields of mass m 0 in four-dim...
متن کاملModified Dispersion Relations and trans-Planckian Physics
We consider modified dispersion relations in quantum field theory on curved space-time. Such relations, despite breaking the local Lorentz invariance at high energy, are considered in several phenomenological approaches to quantum gravity. Their existence involves a modification of the formalism of quantum field theory, starting from the problem of finding the scalar Green’s functions up to the...
متن کاملTowards the QFT on Curved Spacetime Limit of QGR. II: A Concrete Implementation
The present paper is the companion of [1] in which we proposed a scheme that tries to derive the Quantum Field Theory (QFT) on Curved Spacetimes (CST) limit from background independent Quantum General Relativity (QGR). The constructions of [1] make heavy use of the notion of semiclassical states for QGR. In the present paper, we employ the complexifier coherent states for QGR recently proposed ...
متن کاملComments on the Stress-Energy Tensor Operator in Curved Spacetime
The technique based on a ∗-algebra of Wick products of field operators in curved spacetime, in the local covariant version proposed by Hollands and Wald, is strightforwardly generalized in order to define the stress-energy tensor operator in curved globally hyperbolic spacetimes. In particular, the locality and covariance requirement is generalized to Wick products of differentiated quantum fie...
