Energy conditions in general relativity and quantum field theory

EA Kontou, K Sanders - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
This review summarizes the current status of the energy conditions in general relativity and
quantum field theory. We provide a historical review and a summary of technical results and …

Quantum fields in curved spacetime

S Hollands, RM Wald - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
We review the theory of quantum fields propagating in an arbitrary, classical, globally
hyperbolic spacetime. Our review emphasizes the conceptual issues arising in the …

A background-independent algebra in quantum gravity

E Witten - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We propose an algebra of operators along an observer's worldline as a
background-independent algebra in quantum gravity. In that context, it is natural to think of …

Quantum instability of the Cauchy horizon in Reissner–Nordström–deSitter spacetime

S Hollands, RM Wald, J Zahn - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
In classical general relativity, the values of fields on spacetime are uniquely determined by
their values at an initial time within the domain of dependence of this initial data surface …

Why does quantum field theory in curved spacetime make sense? And what happens to the algebra of observables in the thermodynamic limit?

E Witten - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.11614, 2021 - arxiv.org
This article aims to explain some of the basic facts about the questions raised in the title,
without the technical details that are available in the literature. We provide a gentle …

Existence of local covariant time ordered products of quantum fields in curved spacetime

S Hollands, RM Wald - Communications in mathematical physics, 2002 - Springer
We establish the existence of local, covariant time ordered products of local Wick
polynomials for a free scalar field in curved spacetime. Our time ordered products satisfy all …

[图书][B] Mathematics of quantization and quantum fields

J Dereziński, C Gérard - 2013 - library.oapen.org
Unifying topics that are scattered throughout the literature, this book offers a definitive review
of mathematical aspects of quantization and quantum field theory. It presents both basic and …

Quantum reference frames, measurement schemes and the type of local algebras in quantum field theory

CJ Fewster, DW Janssen, LD Loveridge… - … in Mathematical Physics, 2025 - Springer
We develop an operational framework, combining relativistic quantum measurement theory
with quantum reference frames (QRFs), in which local measurements of a quantum field on …

Quantum fields and local measurements

CJ Fewster, R Verch - Communications in Mathematical physics, 2020 - Springer
The process of quantum measurement is considered in the algebraic framework of quantum
field theory on curved spacetimes. Measurements are carried out on one quantum field …
