This book provides a detailed introduction to linear wave equations on Lorentzian manifolds (for vector-bundle valued fields). After a collection of preliminary material in the first chapter one finds in the second chapter the construction of local fundamental solutions together with their Hadamard expansion. The third chapter establishes the existence and uniqueness of global fundamental solutions on globally hyperbolic spacetimes and discusses Green's operators and well-posedness of the Cauchy problem. The last chapter is devoted to field quantization in the sense of algebraic quantum field theory. The necessary basics on C*-algebras and CCR-representations are developed in full detail. The text provides a self-contained introduction to these topics addressed to graduate students in mathematics and physics. At the same time it is intended as a reference for researchers in global analysis, general relativity, and quantum field theory.

  3. The Cauchy Problem for Symmetric Hyperbolic Systems with Nonlocal Potentials

    math.AP 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Under smallness and decay conditions on nonlocal potentials, symmetric hyperbolic systems on curved spacetimes admit strong solutions to the Cauchy problem, with a sharp threshold beyond which solutions fail.

  4. Relative entropy for $\lambda \phi^4$ in the Rindler wedge

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 6.5 of 10

    Relative entropy of vacuum vs coherent state for λφ⁴ in the Rindler wedge equals the classical interacting boost charge to O(λ) and obeys the Bekenstein bound.

  5. Boundary Completion of Vacuum Persistence Probability

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Green's function prescription for the in-out effective action omits endpoint vacuum wavefunctional contributions; including them cancels the boundary obstruction and recovers the Bogoliubov vacuum persistence probability.

    Causal fermion systems are constructed for globally hyperbolic spacetimes such that their continuum limit satisfies the Euler-Lagrange equations of the causal action principle if and only if the coupled Einstein-Dirac...
