We give a functional analytic construction of the fermionic projector on a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold of finite lifetime. The integral kernel of the fermionic projector is represented by a two-point distribution on the manifold. By introducing an ultraviolet regularization, we get to the framework of causal fermion systems. The connection to the "negative-energy solutions" of the Dirac equation and to the WKB approximation is explained and quantified by a detailed analysis of closed Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universes.

    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.

    math-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In causal fermion systems, spacetime points are reinterpreted as bundles of correlations among occupied fermion states, and, for a broad class including the Minkowski vacuum, the causal action equals the variance of t...
