Energy-Momentum Tensor of Field Fluctuations in Massive Chaotic Inflation
We study the renormalized energy-momentum tensor (EMT) of the inflaton fluctuations in rigid space-times during the slow-rollover regime for chaotic inflation with a mass term. We use dimensional regularization with adiabatic subtraction and introduce a novel analytic approximation for the inflaton fluctuations which is valid during the slow-rollover regime. Using this approximation we find a s...
متن کاملEnergy-Momentum Tensor of Cosmological Fluctuations during Inflation
We study the renormalized energy-momentum tensor (EMT) of cosmological scalar fluctuations during the slow-rollover regime for chaotic inflation with a quadratic potential and find that it is characterized by a negative energy density which grows during slow-rollover. We also approach the back-reaction problem as a second-order calculation in perturbation theory finding no evidence that the bac...
متن کاملEnergy–Momentum Tensor for the Electromagnetic Field in a Dielectric
The total momentum of a thermodynamically closed system is unique, as is the total energy. Nevertheless, there is continuing confusion concerning the correct form of the momentum and the energy–momentum tensor for an electromagnetic field interacting with a linear dielectric medium. Here we investigate the energy and momentum in a closed system composed of a propagating electromagnetic field an...
متن کاملPositivity and the Energy Momentum Tensor in Quantum Field Theory
The applicability of the weak energy condition in flat space quantum field theory to expectation values of the the energy momentum tensor is reconsidered. It is shown how the usual counter arguments against the validity of any positivity condition fail if the states |ψ〉 are restricted to a suitably defined subspace. A possible natural restriction on |ψ〉 is suggested and illustrated by two quant...
متن کاملThe Energy-momentum Tensor for the Gravitational Field
The search for the gravitational energy-momentum tensor is often qualified as an attempt of looking for “the right answer to the wrong question”. This position does not seem convincing to us. We think that we have found the right answer to the properly formulated question. We have further developed the field theoretical formulation of the general relativity which treats gravity as a non-linear ...
