Abstract

It is considered the quantum complex scalar field which obeys the authomorphic condition in the two-dimensional spacetime with closed timelike curves and the chronology horizon. The renormalized stress-energy tensor is obtained. It is shown that the value of the stress-energy tensor is regular at the chronology horizon for specific authomorphic parameters. Thus the particular example of field configuration is given for which the Hawking's chronology protection conjecture is violated.
