Title: Vacuum polarization of massive spinor fields in static black-string backgrounds

Journal Article · · Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The renormalized mean value of the quantum Lagrangian and the corresponding components of the energy-momentum tensor for massive spinor fields coupled to an arbitrary gravitational field configuration having cylindrical symmetry are analytically evaluated using the Schwinger-DeWitt approximation, up to second order in the inverse mass value. The general results are employed to explicitly derive compact analytical expressions for the quantum mean Lagrangian and Energy-Momentum tensor in the particular background of the black-string spacetime.
