Using distributional techniques we calculate the energy--momentum tensor of the Schwarzschild geometry. It turns out to be a well--defined tensor--distribution concentrated on the $r=0$ region which is usually excluded from space--time.…

A recently-developed theory of quantum general relativity provides a propagator for free-falling particles in curved spacetimes. These propagators are constructed by parallel-transporting quantum states within a quantum bundle associated to…

Recent investigations revealed that the near horizon Hamiltonian of a massless, chargeless outgoing particle, for its particular motion in static as well as stationary black holes, is effectively $\sim xp$ kind. This is unstable by nature…
