Hadamard states for bosonic quantum field theory on globally hyperbolic spacetimes
Abstract
According to Radzikowski's celebrated results, bisolutions of a wave operator on a globally hyperbolic spacetime are of Hadamard form iff they are given by a linear combination of distinguished parametrices in the sense of Duistermaat-H\"ormander. Inspired by the construction of the corresponding advanced and retarded Green operator as done in B\"ar, Ginoux, Pf\"affle 2007, we construct the remaining two Green operators locally in terms of Hadamard series. Afterwards, we provide the global construction of , which relies on new techniques like a well-posed Cauchy problem for bisolutions and a patching argument using \v{C}ech cohomology. This leads to global bisolutions of Hadamard form, each of which can be chosen to be a Hadamard two-point-function, i.e. the smooth part can be adapted such that, additionally, the symmetry and the positivity condition are exactly satisfied.
