Vacuum Radiation in Conformally Invariant Quantum Field Theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Although the whole conformal group SO(4,2)SO(4,2) can be considered as a symmetry in a classical massless field theory, the subgroup of special conformal transformations (SCT), usually related to transitions to uniformly accelerated frames, causes vacuum radiation in the corresponding quantum field theory, in analogy to the Fulling-Unruh effect. The spectrum of the outgoing particles can be calculated exactly and proves to be a generalization of the Planckian one.
