Spacetime Averaged Null Energy Condition
Douglas Urban, Ken D. Olum
The averaged null energy condition has known violations for quantum fields in curved space, even if one considers only achronal geodesics. Many such examples involve rapid variatio…

Averaged null energy condition violation in a conformally flat spacetime
Douglas Urban, Ken D. Olum
We show that the averaged null energy condition can be violated by a conformally coupled scalar field in a conformally flat spacetime in 3+1 dimensions. The violation is dependent…
