A note on quantization in the presence of gravitational shock waves

Abstract

We study the quantization of a free scalar field when the background metric satisfies Einstein's equations and develops gravitational shock waves.

More details provided in the proof of proposition 3.1. Remarks, discussion and references added. Minor typos corrected
