abstract

We describe the time evolution of quantum systems in a classical background space-time by means of a covariant derivative in an infinite dimensional vector bundle. The corresponding parallel transport operator along a timelike curve $\cC$ is interpreted as the time evolution operator of an observer moving along $\cC$. The holonomy group of the connection, which can be interpreted as a group of local symmetry transformations, and the set of observables have to satisfy certain consistency conditions. Two examples related to local $\mbox{SO}(3)$ and $\mbox{U}(1)$-symmetries, respectively, are discussed in detail. The theory developed in this paper may also be useful to analyze situations where the underlying space-time manifold has closed timelike curves.

  1. Local description of S-matrix in quantum field theory in curved spacetime using Riemann-normal coordinate

    hep-th 2019-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    A local S-matrix is constructed in curved spacetime using Riemann-normal coordinates, yielding curvature-dependent scattering amplitudes and cross-sections.
