Nucleation of vacuum phase transitions by topological defects
William A. Hiscock
The Euclidean action is calculated in the thin-wall approximation for a first-order vacuum phase transition in which the bubble appears symmetrically around either a global monopol…
Renormalization of the charged scalar field in curved space
Rhett Herman, William A. Hiscock
The DeWitt-Schwinger proper time point-splitting procedure is applied to a massive complex scalar field with arbitrary curvature coupling interacting with a classical electromagnet…
Massive scalar field in multiply connected flat spacetimes
Tsunefumi Tanaka, William A. Hiscock
The vacuum expectation value of the stress-energy tensor is calculated in several multiply connected flat spacetimes for a massi…
Semiclassical Stability of the Extreme Reissner-Nordstrom Black Hole
Paul R. Anderson, William A. Hiscock, Daniel J. Loranz
The stress-energy tensor of a free quantized scalar field is calculated in the extreme Reissner-Nordström black hole spacetime in the zero temperature vacuum state. The stress-ener…
