Classical versus quantum completeness

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-06-26 v2 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

The notion of quantum-mechanical completeness is adapted to situations where the only adequate description is in terms of quantum field theory in curved space-times. It is then shown that Schwarzschild black holes, although geodesically incomplete, are quantum complete.
