The Unruh effect and its applications

LCB Crispino, A Higuchi, GEA Matsas - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2008 - APS
It has been 30 years since the discovery of the Unruh effect. It has played a crucial role in
our understanding that the particle content of a field theory is observer dependent. This …

Quantum fields and extended objects in space-times with constant curvature spatial section

AA Bytsenko, G Cognola, L Vanzo, S Zerbini - Physics Reports, 1996 - Elsevier
The heat-kernel expansion and ζ-regularization techniques for quantum field theory and
extended objects on curved space-times are reviewed. In particular, ultrastatic space-times …

Some properties of the Noether charge and a proposal for dynamical black hole entropy

V Iyer, RM Wald - Physical review D, 1994 - APS
We consider a general, classical theory of gravity with arbitrary matter fields in n dimensions,
arising from a diffeomorphism-invariant Lagrangian L. We first show that L alwasy can be …

Time and the interpretation of canonical quantum gravity

WG Unruh, RM Wald - Physical Review D, 1989 - APS
The unsatisfactory status of the interpretation of the wave function of the Universe in
canonical quantum gravity is reviewed. The ''naive interpretation''obtained by …

Algebras of local observables on a manifold

J Dimock - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1980 - Springer
We propose a generalization of the Haag-Kastler axioms for local observables to Lorentzian
manifolds. The framework is intended to resolve ambiguities in the construction of quantum …

Gaussian reference fluid and interpretation of quantum geometrodynamics

KV Kucha, CG Torre - Physical Review D, 1991 - APS
Abstract The Wheeler-DeWitt equation of vacuum geometrodynamics is turned into a
Schrödinger equation by imposing the normal Gaussian coordinate conditions with …

Singularity structure of the two-point function in quantum field theory in curved spacetime, II

SA Fulling, FJ Narcowich, RM Wald - Annals of Physics, 1981 - Elsevier
We prove that, for a massive, scalar, quantum field in a wide class of static spacetimes, the
two-point function< 0| φ (x) φ (y)+ φ (y) φ (x)| 0> has singularity structure of the Hadamard …
