摘要

虫洞是连接时空不同部分的桥梁,在广义相对论的历史上很早就被提出。不久之后,研究表明所有虫洞都违反了经典能量条件,即对应力能量张量收缩的非负约束。由于量子场违反了这些条件,因此人们认为可以在半经典引力的背景下构造虫洞。但量子场论中的负能量并非没有限制:量子能量不等式(QEIs)控制着测地线上平均的重规范化负能量。因此,量子能量不等式为虫洞的构建提供了限制。这项工作是对相关文献的回顾,因此侧重于 QEIs 限制可穿越虫洞的结果。研究了半经典引力背景下的 "短 "和 "长"(不违反因果关系)虫洞解。本文提出了一个新结果,即从最近推导出的双倍涂抹空能条件对马尔达塞纳、米勒金和波波夫 "长 "虫洞的限制。

Wormhole Restrictions from Quantum Energy Inequalities
Wormhole solutions, bridges that connect different parts of spacetime, were proposed early in the history of General Relativity. Soon after, it was shown that all wormholes violate classical energy conditions, which are non-negativity constraints on contractions of the stress–energy tensor. Since these conditions are violated by quantum fields, it was believed that wormholes can be constructed in the context of semiclassical gravity. But negative energies in quantum field theory are not without restriction: quantum energy inequalities (QEIs) control renormalized negative energies averaged over a geodesic. Thus, QEIs provide restrictions on the construction of wormholes. This work is a review of the relevant literature, thus focusing on results where QEIs restrict traversable wormholes. Both ‘short’ and ‘long’ (without causality violations) wormhole solutions in the context of semiclassical gravity are examined. A new result is presented on constraints on the Maldacena, Milekhin, and Popov ‘long’ wormhole from the recently derived doubled smeared null energy condition.
