This paper deals with several issues concerning the algebraic quantization of the real Proca field in a globally hyperbolic spacetime and the definition and existence of Hadamard states for that field. In particular, extending previous work, we construct the so-called Møller ∗- isomorphism between the algebras of Proca observables on paracausally related spacetimes, proving that the pullback of these isomorphisms preserves the Hadamard property of corresponding quasifree states defined on the two spacetimes. Then, we pull back a natural Hadamard state constructed on ultrastatic spacetimes of bounded geometry, along this ∗-isomorphism, to obtain an Hadamard state on a general globally hyperbolic spacetime. We conclude the paper, by comparing the definition of an Hadamard state, here given in terms of wavefront set, with the one proposed by Fewster and Pfenning, which makes use of a supplementary Klein–Gordon Hadamard form. We establish an (almost) complete equivalence of the two definitions.

Abstract

This paper deals with several issues concerning the algebraic quantization of the real Proca field in a globally hyperbolic spacetime and the definition and existence of Hadamard states for that field. In particular, extending previous work, we construct the so-called Møller ∗- isomorphism between the algebras of Proca observables on paracausally related spacetimes, proving that the pullback of these isomorphisms preserves the Hadamard property of corresponding quasifree states defined on the two spacetimes. Then, we pull back a natural Hadamard state constructed on ultrastatic spacetimes of bounded geometry, along this ∗-isomorphism, to obtain an Hadamard state on a general globally hyperbolic spacetime. We conclude the paper, by comparing the definition of an Hadamard state, here given in terms of wavefront set, with the one proposed by Fewster and Pfenning, which makes use of a supplementary Klein–Gordon Hadamard form. We establish an (almost) complete equivalence of the two definitions.
