Quantum energy inequalities and local covariance II: Categorical formulation
Christopher J. Fewster
We formulate Quantum Energy Inequalities (QEIs) in the framework of locally covariant quantum field theory developed by Brunetti, Fredenhagen and Verch, which is based on notions t…
Averaged null energy condition in spacetimes with boundaries
Christopher J. Fewster, Ken D. Olum, Michael J. Pfenning
The Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) requires that the average along a complete null geodesic of the projection of the stress-energy tensor onto the geodesic tangent vector ca…
Averaged Energy Inequalities for the Non-Minimally Coupled Classical Scalar Field
Christopher J. Fewster, Lutz W. Osterbrink
The stress energy tensor for the classical non-minimally coupled scalar field is known not to satisfy the point-wise energy conditions of general relativity. In this paper we show,…
An explicit quantum weak energy inequality for Dirac fields in curved spacetimes
S P Dawson, C J Fewster
The quantized Dirac field is known, by a result of Fewster and Verch, to satisfy a Quantum Weak Energy Inequality (QWEI) on its averaged energy density along time-like curves in ar…
