Quantum fields in curved space

ND Birrell, PCW Davies - 1984 - books.google.com
This book presents a comprehensive review of the subject of gravitational effects in quantum
field theory. Although the treatment is general, special emphasis is given to the Hawking …

Kaluza-klein supergravity

MJ Duff, BEW Nilsson, CN Pope - Physics Reports, 1986 - Elsevier
Review articles tend to fall into two categories: either they are unbiased and comprehensive
with a list of references including every paper on the subject; or else they are selective …

Stability in gauged extended supergravity

P Breitenlohner, DZ Freedman - Annals of physics, 1982 - Elsevier
Extended supergravity theories with gauged SO (N) internal symmetry have, for N≥ 4,
scalar field potentials which are unbounded below. Nevertheless, it is argued that the …

Positive energy in anti-de Sitter backgrounds and gauged extended supergravity

P Breitenlohner, DZ Freedman - Physics Letters B, 1982 - Elsevier
Peter BREITENLOHNER 1 and Daniel Z. FREEDMAN Anti-de Sitter space occurs as a
natural background geometry in field theories of g Page 1 Volume 115B, number 3 …

Bulk versus boundary dynamics in anti–de Sitter spacetime

V Balasubramanian, P Kraus, A Lawrence - Physical Review D, 1999 - APS
We investigate the details of the bulk-boundary correspondence in Lorentzian signature anti–
de Sitter space. Operators in the boundary theory couple to sources identified with the …

Quantum field theory in anti-de Sitter space-time

SJ Avis, CJ Isham, D Storey - Physical Review D, 1978 - APS
We consider the problem of quantizing scalar fields propagating in anti-de Sitter space-time.
This space-time is static but not globally hyperbolic and hence the usual quantization …

Gauge invariance versus masslessness in de Sitter spaces

S Deser, RI Nepomechie - Annals of Physics, 1984 - Elsevier
The connection between gauge invariance, masslessness and null cone propagation is a
flat space property which does not persist even in constant curvature geometries. In …

Singletons and massless, integral-spin fields on de Sitter space

C Fronsdal - Physical Review D, 1979 - APS
Gauge-invariant wave equations for massless fields with fixed, but arbitrary, integer spin
have been constructed. Extended to include interactions with external sources, the theory …

One massless particle equals two Dirac singletons: VI: Elementary particles in a curved space

M Flato, C Fronsdal - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 1978 - Springer
The 'remarkable representations of the 3+ 2 de Sitter group', discovered by Dirac, later
called singleton representations and here denoted Di and Rac, are shown to possess the …
