Stress-Energy Must be Singular on the Misner Space Horizon even for Automorphic Fields
Abstract
We use the image sum method to reproduce Sushkov's result that for a massless automorphic field on the initial globally hyperbolic region of Misner space, one can always find a special value of the automorphic parameter such that the renormalized expectation value in the {\it Sushkov state} ``'' (i.e. the automorphic generalization of the Hiscock-Konkowski state) vanishes. However, we shall prove by elementary methods that the conclusions of a recent general theorem of Kay-Radzikowski-Wald apply in this case. I.e. for any value of and any neighbourhood of any point on the chronology horizon there exists at least one pair of non-null related points such that the renormalized two-point function of an automorphic field in the Sushkov state is singular. In consequence (as well as other renormalized expectation values such as ) is necessarily singular {\it on} the chronology horizon. We point out that a similar situation (i.e. singularity {\it on} the chronology horizon) holds for states on Gott space and Grant space.
