TITLE: Quantum fields in accelerated frames

LANGUAGE: English
ABSTRACT: In this talk I will present studies of quantized scalar and vector elds in accelerated frames (Rindler spaces). Important properties of the dynamics in Rindler spaces are shown to follow from the scale invariance of the corresponding Hamiltonians. Origin and consequences of this extraordinary property of Hamiltonians in Rindler spaces are elucidated. Characteristics of the Unruh radiation, the appearance of a photon condensate and the interaction energy of vector and scalar static charges are discussed and implications for Yang-Mills theories and QCD in Rindler spaces are ndicated.
