Quantum Stress Tensor Fluctuations and Primordial Gravity Waves
Jen-Tsung Hsiang, L. H. Ford, Kin-Wang Ng +1
We examine the effect of the stress tensor of a quantum matter field, such as the electromagnetic field, on the spectrum of primordial gravity waves expected in inflationary cosmol…
Quantum Stress Tensor Fluctuation Effects in Inflationary Cosmology
Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Chun-Hsien Wu, L. H. Ford +1
We review several related investigations of the effects of the quantum stress tensor of a conformal field in inflationary cosmology. Particular attention will be paid to the effect…
Gravity Waves from Quantum Stress Tensor Fluctuations in Inflation
Chun-Hsien Wu, Jen-Tsung Hsiang, L. H. Ford +1
We consider the effects of the quantum stress tensor fluctuations of a conformal field in generating gravity waves in inflationary models. We find a non-scale invariant, non-Gaussi…
Quantum Stress Tensor Fluctuations and their Physical Effects
L. H. Ford, Chun-Hsien Wu
We summarize several aspects of recent work on quantum stress tensor fluctuations and their role in driving fluctuations of the gravitational field. The role of correlations and an…
Possible Constraints on the Duration of Inflationary Expansion from Quantum Stress Tensor Fluctuations
Chun-Hsien Wu, Kin-Wang Ng, L. H. Ford
We discuss the effect of quantum stress tensor fluctuations in deSitter spacetime upon the expansion of a congruence of timelike geodesics. We treat a model in which the expansion…
Fluctuations of Quantum Radiation Pressure in Dissipative Fluid
Chun-Hsien Wu, Da-Shin Lee
Using the generalized Langevin equations involving the stress tensor approach, we study the dynamics of a perfectly reflecting mirror which is exposed to the electromagnetic radiat…
Stress Tensor Fluctuations and Passive Quantum Gravity
L. H. Ford, Chun-Hsien Wu
The quantum fluctuation of the stress tensor of a quantum field are discussed, as are the resulting spacetime metric fluctuations. Passive quantum gravity is an approximation in wh…
