Electromagnetic quantum effects in anti-de Sitter spacetime

Journal Article · · Physics of Atomic Nuclei
The two-point functions of the vector potential and of the field tensor for the electromagnetic field in the background of anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime are evaluated in an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions. First, we consider the two-point functions in the boundary-free geometry and then generalize the results in the presence of a reflecting boundary parallel to the AdS horizon. By using the expressions for the two-point functions of the field tensor, we investigate the vacuum expectation values of the electric field squared and of the energy–momentum tensor. Simple asymptotic expressions are provided near the AdS boundary and horizon.
