abstract

We elaborate more on $\kappa$-mode, a mode that was found by a combination of Rindler modes in the right and left Rindler wedges with opposite sign norms. We find a relation between different kappa vacua, which is a generalization of the thermofield double state. However, a $\kappa$-vacuum can be written in terms of the Rindler vacuum as the thermofield double state, with a modified Unruh temperature of $T_{\kappa}=\frac{\hbar a}{2\pi c k_B}\,\kappa$. Consequently, when a uniformly accelerated observer with an acceleration $a$ is immersed in a $\kappa$-vacuum, they perceive a thermal bath. However, the temperature experienced by the observer is a modified Unruh temperature denoted as $T_{\kappa}$. Remarkably, the Unruh temperature can be enhanced by an arbitrary factor of $\kappa$.

  1. Modulated Accelerating Mirrors as a Physical Realization of the Kappa-Gamma Vacuum

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A modulated Carlitz-Willey mirror realizes the κγ vacuum on future null infinity: the trajectory sets the temperature, the boundary pump phase sets the squeeze angle.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A one-parameter family of flat-spacetime vacua, built from Minkowski plane waves with exponential weights, is shown to be a continuous-mode squeezed vacuum with tanh r(ν) = e^(−πν/κ), reducing to the Minkowski vacuum as κ→0.

    An accelerated detector in a kappa-deformed version of the Minkowski vacuum sees a perfect thermal bath at temperature T = κ times the standard Unruh temperature.
