Quantum vacuum, rotation, and nonlinear fields
Antonino Flachi, Matthew Edmonds
In this paper, we extend previous results on the quantum vacuum or Casimir energy, for a noninteracting rotating system and for an interacting nonrotating system, to the case where…
Black Hole Quantum Vacuum Polarization in Higher Dimensions
Antonino Flachi, Gonçalo M. Quinta, José P. S. Lemos
The goal of this paper is to extend to higher dimensionality the methods and computations of vacuum polarization effects in black hole spacetimes. We focus our attention on the cas…
Chiral gap effect in curved space
Antonino Flachi, Kenji Fukushima
We discuss a new type of QCD phenomenon induced in curved space. In the QCD vacuum, a mass-gap of Dirac fermions is attributed to the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry. If th…
Zeta Determinant for Laplace Operators on Riemann Caps
Antonino Flachi, Guglielmo Fucci
The goal of this paper is to compute the zeta function determinant for the massive Laplacian on Riemann caps (or spherical suspensions). These manifolds are defined as compact and…
