Comment on "Relativistic Effects of Light in Moving Media with Extremely Low Group Velocity"
Matt Visser
In [cond-mat/9906332; Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 822 (2000)] and [physics/9906038; Phys. Rev. A 60, 4301 (1999)] Leonhardt and Piwnicki have presented an interesting analysis of how to u…
Effective action for stochastic partial differential equations
David Hochberg, Carmen Molina-Paris, Juan Perez-Mercader +1
Stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) are the basic tool for modeling systems where noise is important. In this paper we set up a functional integral formalism and demo…
Acoustic black holes: horizons, ergospheres, and Hawking radiation
Matt Visser
It is a deceptively simple question to ask how acoustic disturbances propagate in a non-homogeneous flowing fluid. This question can be answered by invoking the language of Lorentz…
Gravitational vacuum polarization III: Energy conditions in the (1+1) Schwarzschild spacetime
Matt Visser
Building on a pair of earlier papers, I investigate the various point-wise and averaged energy conditions for the quantum stress-energy tensor corresponding to a conformally-couple…
Gravitational vacuum polarization II: Energy conditions in the Boulware vacuum
Matt Visser
I show that in the Boulware vacuum (1) all standard (point-wise and averaged) energy conditions are violated throughout the exterior region---all the way from spatial infinity down…
Gravitational vacuum polarization I: Energy conditions in the Hartle--Hawking vacuum
Matt Visser
It is well-known that gravitationally induced vacuum polarization often violates the point-wise energy conditions and sometimes violates the averaged energy conditions. In this pap…
