Singularity structure of the two point function of the free Dirac field on a globally hyperbolic spacetime
arXiv:math-ph/0003015 · doi:10.1002/1521-3889(200006)9:6<475::AID-ANDP475>3.0.CO;2-S
Abstract
We give an introduction to the techniques from microlocal analysis that have successfully been applied in the investigation of Hadamard states of free quantum field theories on curved spacetimes. The calculation of the wave front set of the two point function of the free Klein-Gordon field in a Hadamard state is reviewed, and the polarization set of a Hadamard two point function of the free Dirac field on a curved spacetime is calculated.
