Spacetime Foam and the Casimir Energy
نویسنده
چکیده
We conjecture that the neutral black hole pair production is related to the vacuum fluctuation of pure gravity via the Casimir-like energy. A generalization of this process to a multi-black hole pair is considered. Implications on the foam-like structure of spacetime and on the cosmological constant are discussed.

متن کاملA Spacetime Foam approach to the cosmological constant and entropy
A simple model of spacetime foam, made by N wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is taken under examination. The Casimir-like energy of the quantum fluctuation of such a model and its probability of being realized are computed. Implications on the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the cosmological constant are considered.
متن کاملSpacetime Foam and Vacuum Energy
The term Spacetime Foam was introduced for the first time by J.A. Wheeler at the end of the fifties to indicate that quantum fluctuations come into play at the Planckian scale, changing topology and metric [1]. Apart the pioneering path integral approach to Spacetime Foam, considered by S.W. Hawking [2], only recently the subject has been widely reconsidered in the context of brane physics [3],...
متن کاملWormholes and Spacetime Foam: an approach to the cosmological constant and entropy
This paper summarizes the contribution presented at the IX Marcel Grossmann Meeting (Rome, July 2000). A simple model of spacetime foam, made by N Schwarzschild wormholes in a semiclassical approximation, is here proposed. The Casimir-like energy of the quantum fluctuation of such a model and its probability of being realized are computed. Implications on the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy and the ...
متن کاملCasimir energy and variational methods in AdS spacetime
Following the subtraction procedure for manifolds with boundaries, we calculate by variational methods, the Schwarzschild-Anti-de Sitter and the Anti-de Sitter space energy difference. By computing the one loop approximation for TT tensors we discover the existence of an unstable mode at zero temperature, which can be stabilized by the boundary reduction method. Implications on a foam-like spac...
