Mode-Sum Prescription for Vacuum Polarization in Black Hole Spacetimes in Even Dimensions
Peter Taylor,Cormac Breen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a mode-sum regularization prescription for computing the vacuum polarization of a scalar field in static spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes in even dimensions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mode-Sum Prescription for the Vacuum Polarization in odd Dimensions
Peter Taylor,Cormac Breen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach to computing the vacuum polarization of a scalar field in static, spherically symmetric backgrounds in odd dimensions is presented, in which the two point function is expanded in Fourier modes, thereby enabling a mode by mode subtraction of infinities and a rapid convergence of the series.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hadamard Renormalization of the Stress Energy Tensor in a Spherically Symmetric Black Hole Space-Time with an Application to Lukewarm Black Holes
Cormac Breen,Adrian C. Ottewill +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider a quantum field which is in a Hartle-Hawking state propagating in a spherically symmetric black hole space-time and calculate the components of the stress tensor, renormalized using the Hadamard form of the Green's function, in the exterior region of this space time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extended Green-Liouville asymptotics and vacuum polarization for lukewarm black holes
Cormac Breen,Adrian C. Ottewill +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new uniform approximation to the radial equation, constructed using an extension of Green-Liouville asymptotics, was proposed to construct the renormalized vacuum polarization in the Hartle-Hawking vacuum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mind the Gap: An Initial Analysis of the Transition of a Second level Curriculum Reform to Higher Education
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated mathematics lecturers' awareness of Project Maths and whether they have made any adaptions to their course content, teaching and assessment approaches as a result of the new curriculum being introduced.
