Fermion Thermal Field Theory for a Rotating Plasma (with Applications to Neutron Stars)

Alberto Salvio

Rotation makes the neutrino production rate from direct URCA processes grow without bound as angular velocity approaches the inverse plasma size.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

the neutrino production rate due to the direct URCA (DU) processes grows indefinitely as the angular velocity approaches the inverse linear size of the plasma and, therefore, rotation can significantly increase this rate.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that a rotating plasma can be described by a generic equilibrium density matrix with arbitrary average angular momentum while remaining in thermal equilibrium, without specifying how this state is prepared or maintained against dissipation.

C3one line summary

Extends thermal field theory to fermions with angular momentum and shows neutrino production in rotating neutron stars grows indefinitely with angular velocity near the inverse system size.
