The properties of strongly gravitating systems suggest that field theory overcounts the states of a system. Reducing the number of degrees of freedom, without abandoning the notion of effective field theory, may be achieved through a…
The adiabatic regularization method was originally proposed by Parker and Fulling to renormalize the energy-momentum tensor of scalar fields in expanding universes. It can be extended to renormalize the electric current induced by quantized…
We show how the dynamics of a specific subset of states can be separated from the dynamic of the total quantum state via a time-dependent projector-based formalism of adiabatic elimination. Within our formalism, we assume explicit time…
