Effective quantum field theories in general spacetimes
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce regular charts as physical reference frames in spacetime, and we show that general spacetimes can always be fully captured by regular charts. Effective quantum field theories (QFTs) can be conveniently defined in regular reference frames, and the definition is independent of specific background metric and independent of specific regular reference frame. As a consequence, coupling to classical gravity is possible in effective QFTs without getting back-reaction effects. Moreover, we present an approach to effective QFTs including quantum gravity.

On the spin-statistics connection in curved spacetimes
The connection between spin and statistics is examined in the context of locally covariant quantum field theory. A generalization is proposed in which locally covariant theories are defined as functors from a category of framed spacetimes to a category of ∗-algebras. This allows for a more operational description of theories with spin, and for the derivation of a more general version of the spi...
متن کاملQuantum Fields in Curved Spacetime: Non Global Hyperbolicity and Locality
We briefly review the current status of the algebraic approach to quantum field theory on globally hyperbolic spacetimes, both axiomatic – for general field theories, and constructive – for a linear Klein-Gordon model. We recall the concept of F-locality, introduced in the latter context in BS Kay: Rev. Math. Phys., Special Issue, 167-195 (1992) and explain how it can be formulated at an axioma...
متن کامل‘dynamical Locality and Covariance: What Makes a Physical Theory the Same in All Spacetimes?’
The question of what it means for a theory to describe the same physics on different spacetimes (of the same dimension) is discussed. To this end, a previously introduced functorial description of locally covariant quantum field theories is analyzed and considerably extended. We assert a necessary criterion for a class of locally covariant theories to be regarded as being comprised of theories ...
متن کامل‘the Split Property for Locally Covariant Quantum Field Theories in Curved Spactime
The split property expresses the way in which local regions of spacetime define subsystems of a quantum field theory. It is known to hold for general theories in Minkowski space under the hypothesis of nuclearity. Here, the split property is discussed for general locally covariant quantum field theories in arbitrary globally hyperbolic curved spacetimes, using a spacetime deformation argument t...
متن کاملTowards the QFT on Curved Spacetime Limit of QGR. II: A Concrete Implementation
The present paper is the companion of [1] in which we proposed a scheme that tries to derive the Quantum Field Theory (QFT) on Curved Spacetimes (CST) limit from background independent Quantum General Relativity (QGR). The constructions of [1] make heavy use of the notion of semiclassical states for QGR. In the present paper, we employ the complexifier coherent states for QGR recently proposed ...
