Averaged null energy condition in spacetimes with boundaries
Christopher J. Fewster, Ken D. Olum, Michael J. Pfenning
The Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) requires that the average along a complete null geodesic of the projection of the stress-energy tensor onto the geodesic tangent vector ca…

A Quantum Weak Energy Inequality for Spin-One Fields in Curved Spacetime
Christopher J. Fewster, Michael J. Pfenning
Quantum weak energy inequalities (QWEI) provide state-independent lower bounds on averages of the renormalised energy density of a quantum field. We derive QWEIs for the electromag…

Quantum Inequality Restrictions on Negative Energy Densities in Curved Spacetimes
Michael John Pfenning, L. H. Ford
In quantum field theory, there exist states in which the expectation value of the energy density for a quantized field is negative. These negative energy densities lead to many pro…
