Canonical Quantization of the Electromagnetic Field on the Kerr Background

Abstract

We investigate the canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field on the Kerr background. We give new expressions for the expectation value of the electromagnetic stress-energy tensor in various vacua states and give a physical interpretation of the separate terms appearing in them. We numerically calculate the luminosity in these states. We also study the form of the renormalized stress-energy tensor close to the horizon when the electromagnetic field is in the past Boulware state.
