We investigate quasi-free Hadamard states defined via characteristic initial data on null cones centred at the axis of symmetry in spherically symmetric space-times. We characterize the necessary singular behaviour of null boundary two-point functions such that one can define non-linear observables at this null boundary and give formulas for the calculation of these observables. These results extend earlier characterizations of null boundary states defining Hadamard states in the bulk of the null cone. As an application of our derived formulas, we consider their implications for the semi-classical Einstein equations and calculate the vacuum polarization associated with Hawking radiation near a collapsing body.

Gravitational null rays: Covariant Quantization and the Dressing Time
Gravitational null rays are quantized in a diffeomorphism-covariant way using the gravitational dressing time as quantum reference frame, producing a Virasoro crossed-product algebra of gauge-invariant observables.

Uniqueness of null-local modular flow
For the free massless scalar in a Minkowski causal diamond, the vacuum is the unique state or weight in the vacuum sector whose modular flow is local on the null boundary.

Recent developments in semiclassical gravity
A short survey of semiclassical gravity advances, with emphasis on the author's own results on the initial value problem and a conjecture that black hole information loss is avoided.
