Abstract We study the model of four-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Λ theory minimally coupled to a massive charged self-interacting scalar field, parameterized by the quartic and hexic couplings, labelled by λ and β, respectively. In the absence of scalar field, there is a class of counterexamples to cosmic censorship. Moreover, we investigate the full nonlinear solution with nonzero scalar field included, and argue that these counterexamples can be removed by assuming charged self-interacting scalar field with sufficiently large charge not lower than a certain bound. In particular, this bound on charge required to preserve cosmic censorship is no longer precisely the weak gravity bound for the free scalar theory. For the quartic coupling, for λ < 0 the bound is below the one for the free scalar fields, whereas for λ > 0 it is above. Meanwhile, for the hexic coupling the bound is always above the one for the free scalar fields, irrespective of the sign of β.

This review is devoted to measure theoretical methods in the canonical quantization of scalar field theories. We present in some detail the canonical quantization of the free scalar field. We study the measures associated with the free fields and present two characterizations of the support of these measures. The first characterization concerns local properties of the quantum fields, whereas for the second one we introduce a sequence of variables that test the field behaviour at large distances, thus allowing distinguishing between the typical quantum fields associated with different values of the mass.

The Mean

The propagation of a free scalar field ϕ with mass m in a curved background is generally described by the equation (gμν∇μ∇ν + m2 + ξR)ϕ = 0. There exist some arguments in the literature that seem to favor the conformal coupling to the detriment of the minimal one. However, the majority of these claims are inconclusive. Here we show that the exact Foldy–Wouthuysen transformation for spin-0 particle coupled to a wide class of static spacetime metrics exists independently of the value of ξ. Nevertheless, if the coupling is of the conformal type, the gravitational Darwin-like term has an uncomplicated structure and it is proportional to the corresponding term in the fermionic case. In addition, an independent computation of this term, which has its origin in the zitterbewegung fluctuation of the boson's position with the mean square <(δr)2> ≈ 1/m2, gives a result that coincides with that obtained using the aforementioned exact transformation with ξ = 1/6.

Raychaudhuri Equations

In this work, we construct a noncommutative version of the Friedmann equations in the framework of effective loop quantum cosmology, extending and applying the ideas presented in a previous proposal by some of the authors. The model under consideration is a flat FRW spacetime with a free scalar field. First, noncommutativity in the momentum sector is introduced. We establish the noncommutative equations of motion and obtain the corresponding exact solutions. Such solutions indicate that the bounce is preserved, in particular, the energy density is the same as in the standard LQC. We also construct an extension of the modified Friedmann equations arising in effective LQC which incorporates corrections due to noncommutativity, and argue that an effective potential is induced. This, in turn, leads us to investigate the possibility of an inflationary era. Finally, we obtain the Friedmann and the Raychaudhuri equations when implementing noncommutativity in the configuration sector. In this case, no effective potential is induced.

We construct a localized state of a scalar field in 3D spin-3 gravity. 3D spin-3 gravity is thought to be holographically dual to [Formula: see text]-extended CFT on a boundary at infinity. It is known that while [Formula: see text] algebra is a nonlinear algebra, in the limit of large central charge [Formula: see text] a linear finite-dimensional subalgebra generated by [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] is singled out. The localized state is constructed in terms of these generators. To write down an equation of motion for a scalar field which is satisfied by this localized state, it is necessary to introduce new variables for an internal space [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], in addition to ordinary coordinates [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The higher-dimensional space, which combines the bulk space–time with the “internal space,” which is an analog of superspace in supersymmetric theory, is introduced. The “physical bulk space–time” is a 3D hypersurface with constant [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] embedded in this space. We will work in Poincaré coordinates of AdS space and consider [Formula: see text]-quasi-primary operators [Formula: see text] with a conformal weight [Formula: see text] in the boundary and study two and three point functions of [Formula: see text]-quasi-primary operators transformed as [Formula: see text]. Here, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are [Formula: see text] generators in the hyperbolic basis for Poincaré coordinates. It is shown that in the [Formula: see text] limit, the conformal weight changes to a new value [Formula: see text]. This may be regarded as a Renormalization Group (RG) flow. It is argued that this RG flow will be triggered by terms [Formula: see text] added to the action.
