Bertotti-Robinson时空的量子场论

Quantum field theory on the Bertotti-Robinson space-time

Adrian C. Ottewill, Peter Taylor

摘要:

我们考虑Bertotti-Robinson时空上的量子场论问题,它自然地出现在极值Reissner-Nordstrom黑洞的近视界几何中,但也可以出现在非极值Reissner-Nordstrom时空的某些近视界极限中。Spradlin和Strominger在$AdS_{2}$黑洞的背景下考虑了各种真空态,他们证明了Poincare真空,Global真空和Hartle-Hawking真空都是等价的,而Boulware真空和Schwarzschild真空是等价的。我们验证了这一点,明确计算格林函数在封闭的形式为一个无质量的标量场对应于这些真空。得到一个封闭的形式的格林函数对应的Boulware真空是不平凡的,我们提出了它在这里首次通过推导一个新的求和公式相关联的勒让德函数,使我们能够执行模式和。在得到了Boulware真空的传播子(它是一个零温度格林函数)之后,我们就可以考虑任意温度下的标量场的情形,通过无限镜像时间-时间和,在将温度设为霍金温度时,得到Hartle-Hawking传播子。最后,我们计算了各种量子真空中无质量标量场的重整化应力-能量张量。

英文摘要:

We consider the problem of quantum field theory on the Bertotti-Robinson space-time, which arises naturally as the near horizon geometry of an extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole but can also arise in certain near-horizon limits of non-extremal Reissner Nordstrom space-time. The various vacuum states have been considered in the context of $AdS_{2}$ black holes by Spradlin and Strominger who showed that the Poincare vacuum, the Global vacuum and the Hartle-Hawking vacuum are all equivalent, while the Boulware vacuum and the Schwarzschild vacuum are equivalent. We verify this by explicitly computing the Green's functions in closed form for a massless scalar field corresponding to each of these vacua. Obtaining a closed form for the Green's function corresponding to the Boulware vacuum is non-trivial, we present it here for the first time by deriving a new summation formula for associated Legendre functions that allows us to perform the mode-sum. Having obtained the propagator for the Boulware vacuum, which is a zero-temperature Green's function, we can then consider the case of a scalar field at an arbitrary temperature by an infinite image imaginary-time sum, which yields the Hartle-Hawking propagator upon setting the temperature to the Hawking temperature. Finally, we compute the renormalized stress-energy tensor for a massless scalar field in the various quantum vacua.
