Excited States in Spaces of Constant Curvature
摘要
Abstract
We investigate excited states generated by local operator quenches in maximally symmetric spacetimes of constant curvature. Our analysis covers anti-de Sitter (AdS), BTZ black holes, and de Sitter (dS) backgrounds. Employing Green’s function techniques, we construct exact analytic expressions for one-point functions of massive scalar fields and study their real-time evolution. The comparison across different geometries reveals how horizon and cosmological expansion leave distinct imprints on quench dynamics. This framework provides a unified setting to explore nonequilibrium processes relevant to holography, black hole physics, and early-universe cosmology.
