If this happens, the perturbative approach does not furnish reliable results in the evaluation of scattering amplitudes or expectation values. In this paper we show that these effects can be avoided for adiabatically switched-on interactions, if the spatial support of the interaction is compact and if the background state is suitably chosen. We start considering equilibrium background states and show that, when thermalisation occurs (interaction Lagrangian of spatial compact support), secular effects are avoided. Furthermore, no secular effects pop up if the limit where the Lagrangian is supported everywhere in space is taken after thermalisation (large time limit), in contrast to the reversed order. This result is generalized showing that if the interaction Lagrangian is spatially compact, secular growths are avoided for generic background states which are only invariant under time translation and to states whose explicit dependence of time is not too strong. Finally, as an application, the presented theorems are used to study a complex scalar and a Dirac field, on a background KMS state, in a classical external electromagnetic potential and the contribution to the two point-function given by a generic loop diagram arising from a second order perturbative expansion.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":463,"journal":{"name":"Annales Henri Poincaré","volume":"26 11","pages":"4141 - 4203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00023-024-01526-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145248331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the realm of <span>(textrm{S}^{1})</span>-symmetric <i>vacuum</i> spacetimes, a recent classification proved that, without restrictions on the topology or the asymptotic behavior, black hole solutions can be only of three kinds: (i) Schwarzschild black holes, (ii) Boost black holes or (iii) Myers–Korotkin–Nicolai black holes, each one having its distinct asymptotic and topological type. In contrast to this, very little is known about the general classification of <span>(textrm{S}^{1})</span>-symmetric static <i>electrovacuum</i> black holes although examples show that, on the large picture, there should be striking differences with respect to the vacuum case. A basic question then is whether or not there are charged analogs to the static vacuum black holes of types (i), (ii) and (iii). In this article, we prove the remarkable fact that, while one can ‘charge’ the Schwarzschild solution (resulting in a Reissner–Nordström spacetime) preserving the asymptotic, one cannot do the same to the Boosts and to the Myers–Korotkin–Nicolai solutions: The addition of a small or large electric charge, if possible at all, would transform entirely their asymptotic behavior. In particular, such vacuum solutions cannot be electromagnetically perturbed. The results of this paper are consistent but go far beyond the works of Karlovini and Von Unge on periodic analogs of the Reissner–Nordström black holes. The type of result as well as the techniques used is based on comparison geometry a la Bakry–Émery and appears to be entirely novel in this context.
