Renormalized electromagnetic stress tensor in Schwarzschild spacetime

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

The renormalized quantum stress tensor for an electromagnetic field in the Hartle-Hawking state in Schwarzschild spacetime is calculated using a mode sum which is evaluated numerically. The results shed light on stress-tensor-approximation methods that have been proposed in recent years.
