Connections between abstract quantum theory and space-time structure. III: Vacuum structure and black holes (Q915165)

[Part II, cf. ibid. 27, No.6, 659-666 (1988; Zbl 0646.53072).] The interior of a Schwarzschild black hole can be modeled by an ur- theoretically described Robertson-Walker space-time. From a quantum- theoretic point of view, the formation of a horizon should show a back reaction on the quantum ground state. This consideration is taken into account, via the introduction of a negative pressure associated with the vacuum energy density.
