VACUUM POLARIZATION IN SCHWARZSCHILD SPACETIME

Abstract:

The polarization of the vacuum induced by gravitation is studied for massless fields in the region exterior to the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole. The renormalized value of 2(x) is calculated according to the "covariant point-separation scheme" for each of the Boulware, Hartle-Hawking, and Unruh "vacua." The form of the renormalized expectation value of the stress tensor near the horizon and at infinity is discussed for each of these three states. It is found that the Unruh vacuum best...
