From quantum to classical instability in relativistic stars
André G. S. Landulfo, William C. C. Lima, George E. A. Matsas +1
It has been shown that gravitational fields produced by realistic classical-matter distributions can force quantum vacuum fluctuations of some nonminimally coupled free scalar fiel…
Particle creation due to tachyonic instability in relativistic stars
A. G. S. Landulfo, W. C. C. Lima, G. E. A. Matsas +1
Dense enough compact objects were recently shown to lead to an exponentially fast increase of the vacuum energy density for some free scalar fields properly coupled to the spacetim…
Awaking the vacuum in relativistic stars
William C. C. Lima, George E. A. Matsas, Daniel A. T. Vanzella
Void of any inherent structure in classical physics, the vacuum has revealed to be incredibly crowded with all sorts of processes in relativistic quantum physics. Yet, its direct e…
Gravity-induced vacuum dominance
William C. C. Lima, Daniel A. T. Vanzella
It has been widely believed that, except in very extreme situations, the influence of gravity on quantum fields should amount to just small, sub-dominant contributions. This view s…
