Abstract
We study the stress-energy tensor of a massless, conformally coupled, quantum scalar field in a rigidly-rotating thermal state on three- and four-dimensional anti-de Sitter space-time. We first find the stress-energy tensor using relativistic kinetic theory, modelling the field as a thermal gas of massless bosons. We then compute the renormalized stress-energy tensor of the scalar field in quantum field theory and compare it with that resulting from relativistic kinetic theory.
