Collapse Process

The physical basis underlying the black hole evaporation process is clarified by a calculation of the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor for a massless scalar field in a completely general two dimensional collapse scenario. It is found that radiation is produced inside the collapsing matter which propagates both inwards and outwards. The ingoing com­ponent eventually emerges from the star after travelling through the centre. The outgoing energy flux appears at infinity as the evaporation radiation discovered by Hawking. At late times, outside the star, the former component fades out exponentially, and the latter component approaches a value which is independent of the details of the collapse process. In the special case of a collapsing hollow, thin shell of matter, all the radiation is produced at the shell. These results are independent of regularization ambiguities, which enter only the static vacuum polariza­tion terms in the energy-momentum tensor. The significance of an earlier remark about black hole explosions is discussed in the light of these results.

Stress Energy Momentum Tensor

Quasilocal definitions of stress-energy–momentum—that is, in the form of boundary densities (in lieu of local volume densities) — have proven generally very useful in formulating and applying conservation laws in general relativity. In this Essay, we take a basic look into applying these to cosmology, specifically using the Brown–York quasilocal stress-energy–momentum tensor for matter and gravity combined. We compute this tensor and present some simple results for a flat FLRW spacetime with a perfect fluid matter source. We emphasize the importance of the vacuum energy, which is almost universally underappreciated (and usually “subtracted”), and discuss the quasilocal interpretation of the cosmological constant.

We consider a K-essence involving a massless scalar field Φ minimally coupled to Einstein gravity in D ≥ 4 space–time dimensions. This theory admits a two-parameter family of spherical wormholes representing two asymptotically-flat universes connected via a (D-2)-dimensional spherical throat. The ADM masses of the two ends are unequal and of opposite sign except for a one-parameter family where both ends possess vanishing ADM masses. By cut and paste techniques, we construct a two-parameter family of wormholes where the ends possess equal and positive ADM masses but the throat is a (D-1)-dimensional thin-shell. The structure of the surface energy–momentum tensor is also analyzed.

Soliton solutions are studied as a generalization of the bosonized Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a fourth order term in the scalar meson field. Such an interaction arises in the context of a scale-invariant modification of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio action, in which the scalar meson field is coupled to a scalar glueball field. It is shown that a fourth order term in the scalar meson field is crucial for the existence of stable solitons. We investigate the dependence of soliton properties on the scalar-glueball coupling.

We consider the gravity-induced effects associated with a massless scalar field living in a higher-dimensional spacetime being the tensor product of Minkowski space and spherically-symmetric space with angle deficit. These spacetimes are considered as simple models for a multidimensional global monopole or cosmic string with flat extra dimensions, where the deficit of solid angle is proportional to Newton constant and tension. Thus, we refer to them as conical backgrounds. In terms of the angular deficit value, we derive the perturbative expression for the scalar Green’s function and compute it to the leading order. With the use of this Green’s function we compute the renormalized vacuum expectation value of the scalar-field’s energy-momentum tensor. We make some general note on the linear-on-curvature part of the trace of even coefficients of Schwinger-deWitt expansion.
