More on the covariant retarded Green's function for the electromagnetic field in de Sitter spacetime (2009)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Lee, Yen Cheong, Nicholas, Jack R.

In a recent paper (Phys. Rev. D78, 084031 (2008), arXiv:0808.0642, Ref. [1]) it was shown in examples that the covariant retarded Green's functions in particular gauges for electromagnetism and...

A conformally coupled massive scalar field in the de Sitter expanding universe with the mass term treated as a perturbation (2009)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Lee, Yen Cheong

We study conformally-coupled massive scalar field theory with the mass term treated as a perturbation in the expanding half of de Sitter spacetime as a toy model for comparing various perturbative...

Decay of the free-theory vacuum of scalar field theory in de Sitter spacetime in the interaction picture (2008)

Higuchi, Atsushi

A free-theory vacuum state of an interacting field theory, e.g. quantum gravity, is unstable at tree level in general due to spontaneous emission of Fock-space particles in any spacetime with no...

How to use retarded Green's functions in de Sitter spacetime (2008)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Lee, Yen Cheong

We demonstrate in examples that the covariant retarded Green's functions in electromagnetism and linearized gravity work as expected in de Sitter spacetime. We first clarify how retarded Green's...

On the FP-ghost propagators for Yang-Mills theories and perturbative quantum gravity in the covariant gauge in de Sitter spacetime (2008)

Faizal, Mir, Higuchi, Atsushi

The propagators of the Faddeev-Popov (FP) ghosts for Yang-Mills theories and perturbative quantum gravity in the covariant gauge are infrared (IR) divergent in de Sitter spacetime. We point out,...

Topological censorship and chronology protection (2008)

Friedman, John L., Higuchi, Atsushi

Over the past two decades, substantial efforts have been made to understand the way in which physics enforces the ordinary topology and causal structure that we observe, from subnuclear to...

Atsushi Higuchi (2007)

Atsushi Higuchi, Daniel Sudarsky

We show that static sources coupled to a massless scalar field in Schwarzschild spacetime give rise to emission and absorption of zero-energy particles due to the presence of Hawking radiation. This...

The Unruh effect and its applications (2007)

Crispino, Luis C. B., Higuchi, Atsushi, Matsas, George E. A.

It has been thirty years since the discovery of the Unruh effect. It has played a crucial role in our understanding that the particle content of a field theory is observer dependent. This effect is...

On maximal entanglement between two pairs in four-qubit pure states (2007)

Brierley, Stephen, Higuchi, Atsushi

We show that the state with the highest known average two-particle von Neumann entanglement entropy proposed by Sudbery and one of the authors gives a local maximum of this entropy. We also show that...

Quantum Radiation Reaction and the Green's Function Decomposition (2006)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Martin, Giles D. R.

We analyze the change in position (the position shift) of the wave packet of a charged scalar particle due to radiation reaction in the $\hbar \to 0$ limit of quantum electrodynamics. In particular,...

Possible Constraints on String Theory in Closed Space with Symmetries (2005)

Higuchi, Atsushi

It is well known that certain quadratic constraints have to be imposed on linearized gravity in closed space with symmetries. We review this phenomenon and discuss one of the constraints which arise...

Radiation reaction on charged particles in three-dimensional motion in classical and quantum electrodynamics (2005)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Martin, Giles D. R.

We extend our previous work (see arXiv:quant-ph/0501026), which compared the predictions of quantum electrodynamics concerning radiation reaction with those of the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac theory for a...

Classical and quantum radiation reaction for linear acceleration (2005)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Martin, Giles D. R.

We investigate the effect of radiation reaction on the motion of a wave packet of a charged scalar particle linearly accelerated in quantum electrodynamics. We give the details of the calculations...

Is the equivalence for the response of static scalar sources in the Schwarzschild and Rindler spacetimes valid only in four dimensions? (2004)

Crispino, Luis C. B., Higuchi, Atsushi, Matsas, George E. A.

It was shown recently that in four dimensions scalar sources with fixed proper acceleration minimally coupled to a massless Klein-Gordon field lead to the same responses when they are (i) uniformly...

The Lorentz-Dirac force from QED for linear acceleration (2004)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Martin, Giles D. R.

We investigate the motion of a wave packet of a charged scalar particle linearly accelerated by a static potential in quantum electrodynamics. We calculate the expectation value of the position of...

On the one-particle reduced density matrices of a pure three-qutrit quantum state (2003)

Higuchi, Atsushi

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for three qutrit density matrices to be the one-particle reduced density matrices of a pure three-qutrit quantum state. The condition consists of seven...

The physical graviton two-point function in de Sitter spacetime with S^3 spatial sections (2002)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Weeks, Richard H.

We compute the physical graviton two-point function in de Sitter spacetime with three-sphere spatial sections. We demonstrate that the large-distance growth present in the corresponding two-point...

Radiation reaction in quantum field theory (2002)

Higuchi, Atsushi

We investigate radiation-reaction effects for a charged scalar particle accelerated by an external potential realized as a space-dependent mass term in quantum electrodynamics. In particular, we...

We discuss the absorption cross section for the minimally-coupled massless scalar field into a stationary and circularly symmetric black hole with nonzero angular velocity in four or higher...

The covariant graviton propagator in de Sitter spacetime (2001)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Kouris, Spyros S.

We consider the covariant graviton propagator in de Sitter spacetime in a gauge with two parameters, alpha and beta, in the Euclidean approach. We give an explicit form of the propagator with a...

On the scalar sector of the covariant graviton two-point function in de Sitter spacetime (2000)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Kouris, Spyros S.

We examine the scalar sector of the covariant graviton two-point function in de Sitter spacetime. This sector consists of the pure-trace part and another part described by a scalar field. We show...

Scalar radiation emitted from a source rotating around a black hole (1999)

Crispino, Luis C. B., Higuchi, Atsushi, Matsas, George E. A.

We analyze the scalar radiation emitted from a source rotating around a Schwarzschild black hole using the framework of quantum field theory at the tree level. We show that for relativistic circular...

Radiation reaction in quantum mechanics (1998)

Higuchi, Atsushi

The Lorentz-Dirac radiation reaction formula predicts that the position shift of a charged particle due to the radiation reaction is of first order in acceleration if it undergoes a small...

Interaction of Hawking radiation with static sources outside a Schwarzschild black hole (1998)

Higuchi, Atsushi, Matsas, George E. A., Sudarsky, Daniel

We show that the response rate of (i) a static source interacting with Hawking radiation of massless scalar field in Schwarzschild spacetime (with the Unruh vacuum) and that of (ii) a uniformly...

Interaction of Hawking radiation and a static electric charge (1998)

Crispino, Luis C. B., Higuchi, Atsushi, Matsas, George E. A.

We investigate whether the equality found for the response of static scalar sources interacting (i) with {\em Hawking radiation in Schwarzschild spacetime} and (ii) with the Fulling-Davies-Unruh...

Quantum field theory in Lorentzian universes-from-nothing (1995)

Friedman, John L., Higuchi, Atsushi

Roberto Camporesi, Atsushi Higuchi

The eigenfunctions of the Dirac operator on spheres and real hyperbolic spaces of arbitrary dimension are computed by separating variables in geodesic polar coordinates. These eigenfunctions are used...
