We presented a sound foundation of thermodynamics for a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe from the first principle in ground-breaking work [Hu et al., JHEP12 (2022) 168]. Based on such an approach, we explore the thermodynamics of…
It is commonly believed that the vacuum energy problem points to the need for (1) a radically new formulation of gravitational physics and (2) a new principle which forces the vacuum stress-energy tensor (as measured by gravity) to be…
We consider a self-interacting, massive, real scalar field on a four-dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetime and the associated stress-energy tensor. Using techniques proper of the algebraic approach to perturbative quantum field theory,…
