Alternative Boundary Conditions in Asymptotically Anti-de Sitter Spacetimes
Robert M. Wald, Xinkang Wang
Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetimes are not globally hyperbolic, so boundary conditions are generally needed for well-defined dynamics. Ishibashi and Wald (IW) determined boundary cond…
Local Description of Decoherence of Quantum Superpositions by Black Holes and Other Bodies
Daine L. Danielson, Gautam Satishchandran, Robert M. Wald
It was previously shown that if an experimenter, Alice, puts a massive or charged body in a quantum spatial superposition, then the presence of a black hole (or more generally any…
The Entropy of Dynamical Black Holes
Stefan Hollands, Robert M. Wald, Victor G. Zhang
We propose a new formula for the entropy of a dynamical black holevalid to leading order for perturbations off of a stationary black hole backgroundin an arbitrary classical…
The Operator Product Expansion in Quantum Field Theory
Stefan Hollands, Robert M. Wald
Operator product expansions (OPEs) in quantum field theory (QFT) provide an asymptotic relation between products of local fields defined at points and local field…
Quantum Instability of the Cauchy Horizon in Reissner-Nordström-deSitter Spacetime
Stefan Hollands, Robert M. Wald, Jochen Zahn
In classical General Relativity, the values of fields on spacetime are uniquely determined by their values at an initial time within the domain of dependence of this initial data s…
Quantum fields in curved spacetime
Stefan Hollands, Robert M. Wald
We review the theory of quantum fields propagating in an arbitrary, classical, globally hyperbolic spacetime. Our review emphasizes the conceptual issues arising in the formulation…
