The Energy-Momentum Tensor in Fulling-Rindler Vacuum
Parentani Renaud
TL;DR
This paper demonstrates that the energy density in the Fulling-Rindler vacuum, previously thought to be negative everywhere, is actually positive and singular at horizons, ensuring total energy positivity through a detailed compensation mechanism.
Contribution
It reveals the true nature of energy density in the Fulling-Rindler vacuum and explains the compensation mechanism ensuring positive total energy.
Findings
Energy density is positive and singular at horizons.
The total energy in the vacuum is positive.
The compensation mechanism is explicitly detailed.
Abstract
The energy density in Fulling-Rindler vacuum, which is known to be negative "everywhere" is shown to be positive and singular on the horizons in such a fashion as to guarantee the positivity of the total energy. The mechanism of compensation is displayed in detail.
