The problem of UV divergences in QFT has long been a fundamental challenge. Standard regularization techniques modify high-energy behavior to ensure well-defined integrals. However, these approaches often introduce unphysical parameters,…
We establish a lower bound on the total mass of the time slices of (n + 1)-dimensional asymptotically flat standard static spacetimes under the timelike convergence condition. The inequality can be viewed equivalently as a Minkowski-type…
We prove localized energy estimates for the wave equation in domains with a strictly concave boundary when homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann conditions are imposed. By restricting the solution to small, frequency dependent, space time…
I present a review of the Dirac equation in general relativity. Although the generalization of the Dirac equation to a curved spacetime is well known, it is not usually part of the standard toolkit of techniques known to people working on…

We investigate the spin-1/2 relativistic quantum dynamics in the curved space-time generated by a central massive charged object (black hole). This necessitates a study of the coupling of a Dirac particle to the Reissner-Nordstrom…
Quantum discrete-time walkers have, since their introduction, demonstrated applications in algorithmic and in modeling and simulating a wide range of transport phenomena. They have long been considered the discrete-time and discrete space…
The relativistic acceleration of an electron in a uniform gravitational field is calculated numerically using the generalization of the Dirac equation to curved spacetime. Equivalent results are also obtained analytically using an iterative…
In this article, based on a recent formularization of the holographic principle proposed and investigated by the present author, we show that the weak equivalence principle in general relativity is equivalent to the equivalence between two…
To comply with the equivalence principle, fields in curved spacetime can be quantized only in the neighborhood of each point, where one can construct a freely falling M i n k o w s k i frame with z e r o curvature. In each such frame, the…
Differential geomtrical methods for deriving the Dirac equation in Curved Spacetime are presented. Einstein's field equation is applied in a novel manner; in the most current standard reference, Birrell and Davies, 1994 [1], the suggestions…
We prove that any smooth vacuum spacetime containing a compact Cauchy horizon with surface gravity that can be normalised to a non-zero constant admits a Killing vector field. This proves a conjecture by Moncrief and Isenberg from 1983…
A quantum Dirac field theory with no divergences of vacuum energy is presented. The vacuum energy divergence is eliminated by removing a extra degree of freedom of the Dirac fields. The conditions for removing the extra degree of freedom,…
We generalize the Fenchel theorem for strong spacelike closed curves of index $1$ in the 3-dimensional Minkowski space, showing that the total curvature must be less than or equal to $2\pi$. Here strong spacelike means that the tangent…
In this paper we investigate quantum fields propagating on given, static, spherically symmetric spacetimes, which are isometric to a part of the Schwarzschild spacetime. Without specifying the internal geometry we show, that there exist…
We study quantum corrections to hypersurfaces of dimension $d+1>2$ embedded in generic higher-dimensional spacetimes. Manifest covariance is maintained throughout the analysis and our methods are valid for arbitrary co-dimension and…
The Dirac equation can be modelled as a quantum walk, with the quantum walk being: discrete in time and space (i.e. a unitary evolution of the wave-function of a particle on a lattice); homogeneous (i.e. translation-invariant and…
We propose a new space-time variational formulation for wave equation initial-boundary value problems. The key property is that the formulation is coercive (sign-definite) and continuous in a norm stronger than $H^1(Q)$, $Q$ being the…
A relativistic equation is proposed for the bound state of two particles, which is in accord with the boundary condition for the propagation of the negative-energy states and reduces to the (one-body)Dirac equation in the infinite limit of…
A link between the possibility of extending a geodessically incomplete kinked spacetime to a spacetime which is geodesically complete and the energy conditions is discussed for the case of a cylindrically-symmetric spacetime kink. It is…
