Super-Gaussian Decay of Exponentials: A Sufficient Condition

In this article, we present a sufficient condition for the exponential $\exp({-f})$ to have a tail decay stronger than any Gaussian, where $f$ is defined on a locally convex space $X$ and grows faster than a squared seminorm on $X$. In particular, our result proves that $\exp({-p(x)^{2+\varepsilon}+αq(x)^2})$ is integrable for all $α,\varepsilon>0$ w.r.t. a Radon Gaussian measure on a nuclear space $X$, if $p$ and $q$ are continuous seminorms on $X$ with compatible kernels. This can be viewed as an adaptation of Fernique's theorem and, for example, has applications in quantum field theory.

Quantum fields on semi-globally hyperbolic space-times

We introduce a class of space-times modeling singular events such as evaporating black holes and topology changes, which we dub as semi-globally hyperbolic space-times. On these space-times we aim to study the existence of reasonable quantum field theories. We establish a notion of linear scalar quantum field theories on these space-times, show how such a theory might be constructed and introduce notions of global dynamics on these theories. Applying these constructions to both black hole evaporation and topology changing space-times, we find that existence of algebras can be relatively easily established, while the existence of reasonable states on these algebras remains an unsolved problem.
