It has been shown that the negative norm states necessarily appear in a covariant quantization of the free minimally coupled scalar field in de Sitter space [1,2]. In this process ultraviolet and infrared divergences have been automatically…
We propose an Einstein-{\ae}ther scalar-tensor cosmological model. In particular in the scalar-tensor Action Integral we introduce the {\ae}ther field with {\ae}ther coefficients to be functions of the scalar field. This cosmological model…
We show that quantized matter fields in the presence of background metrics with Horizon exhibit spontaneous time asymmetry. All quantized matter fields have to vanish at the horizon. Some phenemenological applications of this in the context…

We compute the vacuum polarization for a massless, conformally coupled scalar field on the covering space of global, four-dimensional, anti-de Sitter space-time. Since anti-de Sitter space is not globally hyperbolic, boundary conditions…

The standard quantization formalism in spacetimes with event horizons implies a non-unitary evolution of quantum states, as initial pure states may evolve into thermal states. This phenomenon is behind the famous black hole information loss…
