Boundary conditions in the Unruh problem

Boundary conditions in the Unruh problem

We have analyzed the Unruh problem in the frame of quantum field theory and have shown that the Unruh quantization scheme is valid in the double Rindler wedge rather than in Minkowski spacetime. The double Rindler wedge is composed of two disjoint regions (Rand L-wedges of Minkowski spacetime) which are causally separated from each other. Moreover the Unruh construction implies existence of bou...

Gravitational vacuum polarization IV: Energy conditions in the Unruh vacuum

Building on a series of earlier papers [gr-qc/9604007,9604008,9604009], I investigate the various point-wise and averaged energy conditions in the Unruh vacuum. I consider the quantum stress-energy tensor corresponding to a conformally coupled massless scalar field, work in the test-field limit, restrict attention to the Schwarzschild geometry, and invoke a mixture of analytical and numerical t...

Analytic solutions for the Stephen's inverse problem with local boundary conditions including Elliptic and hyperbolic equations

In this paper, two inverse problems of Stephen kind with local (Dirichlet) boundary conditions are investigated. In the first problem only a part of boundary is unknown and in the second problem, the whole of boundary is unknown. For the both of problems, at first, analytic expressions for unknown boundary are presented, then by using these analytic expressions for unknown boundaries and bounda...

Boundary conditions for the spinor field in Rindler spacetime and the quantum field theoretical basis of the Unruh effect

We analyse the quantization procedure of the spinor field in the Rindler spacetime, showing the boundary conditions that should be imposed to the field, in order to have a well posed theory. Because of these boundary conditions we argue that this construction and the usual one in Minkowski spacetime are qualitatively different and can not be compared and consequently the conventional interpreta...
