Abstract:In the context of field theory in curved spacetimes, it is known that suitable background spacetime geometries can trigger instabilities of fields, leading to exponential growth of their (quantum and classical) fluctuations -a phenomenon called vacuum awakening in the quantum context, which in some classical scenarios seeds spontaneous scalarization/vectorization. Despite its conceptual interest, an actual observation in nature of this effect is uncertain since it depends on the existence of fields with approp… Show more
“…The first one is dedicated to the characterization of the proposed analogue models. It consists of a bona fide adaptation of results that are already published, 32 and thus it follows closely the structure of submitted work. The second one deals with field quantization in active dispersive media.…”
