ABSTRACT
This paper dealing with extension of the Einstein field equations using apparatus of
contemporary generalization of the classical Lorentzian geometry named in literature
Colombeau distributional geometry, see for example [1]-[2], [5]-[7] and [14]-[15]. The
regularization of singularities presented in some solutions of the Einstein equations is an
important part of this approach. Any singularities present in some solutions of the Einstein
equations recognized only in the sense of Colombeau generalized functions [1]-[2] and not
classically. In this paper essentially new class Colombeau solutions to Einstein field
equations is obtained. We leave the neighborhood of the singularity at the origin and turn to
the singularity at the horizon. Using nonlinear distributional geometry and Colombeau
generalized functions it seems possible to show that the horizon singularity is not only a
coordinate singularity without leaving Schwarzschild coordinates. However the Tolman
formula for the total energy E T of a static and asymptotically flat spacetime, gives ET m,
as it should be. The vacuum energy density of free scalar quantum field with a
distributional background spacetime also is considered. It has been widely believed that,
except in very extreme situations, the influence of gravity on quantum fields should amount
to just small, sub-dominant contributions. Here we argue that this belief is false by showing
that there exist well-behaved spacetime evolutions where the vacuum energy density of free
quantum fields is forced, by the very same background distributional spacetime such
distributional BHs, to become dominant over any classical energy density component. This
semiclassical gravity effect finds its roots in the singular behavior of quantum fields on
curved spacetimes. In particular we obtain that the vacuum fluctuations

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1.
The breakdown of canonical formalism of Riemann geometry for the
singular solutions of the Einstein field equations
Einstein field equations was originally derived by Einstein in 1915 in respect with canonical
formalism of Riemann geometry, i.e. by using the classical sufficiently smooth metric tensor,
smooth Riemann curvature tensor, smooth Ricci tensor, smooth scalar curvature, etc.
However, singular solutions of the Einstein field equations with singular metric tensor and
singular Riemann curvature tensor have soon been found. These singular solutions are
formally accepted beyond rigorous canonical formalism of Riemannian geometry.

(II) The Schwarzschild metric (1.12) in canonical coordinates

ceases to be a smooth Lorentzian metric for

r 2m, because for such a value of r the

g 00 becomes zero while g 11 becomes infinite. For 0 r 2m the metric


(1.12) is again a smooth Lorentzian metric but t is a space coordinate while r is a time

(III) From consideration above obviously follows that on Schwarzschild spacetime

literature, see for example [22] section 6 and Remark 1.1 - Remark 1.2 above.

125

(IV) Note that [4]: (i) The determinant

126

det glm ({}) r 4 sin 2 of the metric (1.12) is


reqular on horizon, i.e. smooth and non-vanishing for r 2m.

133

R ({})R ({}) 48m2 / r 6 is regular on horizon, i.e. smooth and


non-vanishing for r 2m.

134
135
136

(V) Note that: (i) In physical literature (see for example [4], [33], [35],) it was wrongly
assumed that a properties (i)-(iii) is enough to convince us that r 2m represent an non
honest physical singularity but only coordinate singularity.

Thus obviously by consideration above (see Remark 1.1 - Remark 1.2) this extension given
by Eq. (1.15) has no any sense in respect of the canonical Riemannian geometry.

150

(VII) From consideration above (see Remark 1.1 - Remark 1.2) obviously follows that the

151
152
153
154

scalars such as R, R R , . . . , R

R has no any sense in

respect of the canonical Levi-Civit connection (1.11) and therefore cannot be said to be
either honest physical singularity or only coordinate singularity in respect of the canonical
Riemannian geometry.

155
156
157
158
159

Remark 1.4. Note that in physical literature the spacetime singularity usually is defined as
location where the quantities that are used to measure the gravitational field become infinite
in a way that does not depend on the coordinate system. These quantities are the classical
scalar invariant curvatures of singular spacetime, which includes a measure of the density of
matter.

160
161

Remark 1.5. In general relativity, many investigations have been derived with regard to
singular exact vacuum solutions of the Einstein equation and the singularity structure of

162

space-time. Such solutions have been formally derived under condition

T ( x) 0, where

T x represent the energy-momentum densities of the gravity source. This for example is

163
164

the case for the well-known Schwarzschild solution, which is given by, in the Schwarzschild

165

coordinates

space-time, respectively. The metric (1.12) describes the gravitational field produced by a
point-like particle located at r 0 .

173
174

Remark 1.6. Note that when we say, on the basis of the canonical expression of the
curvature square

formally obtained from the metric (1.12), that r 0 is a singularity of the Schwarzschild
space-time, the source is considered to be point-like and this metric is regarded as
meaningful everywhere in space-time.

181
182

Remark 1.7. From the metric (1.12), the calculation of the canonical Einstein tensor
proceeds in a straightforward manner gives for r 0

and therefore the boundary conditions (1.15) is completely wrong. But other hand as pointed
out by many authors [5]-[17] that the canonical representation of the Einstein tensor, valid

The distributional Schwarzschild geometry

209
210
211

General relativity as a physical theory is governed by particular physical equations; the focus
of interest is the breakdown of physics which need not coincide with the breakdown of
geometry. It has been suggested to describe singularity at the origin as internal point of the
Schwarzschild spacetime, where the Einstein field equations are satisfied in a weak
(distributional) sense [5]-[22].

been suggested by many authors to describe singularity at the origin as an internal point,
where the Einstein field equations are satisfied in a distributional sense [5]-[22]. From the
Colombeau metric (1.19) one obtains in a distributional sense [22]:

for ( Rij ) into Cartesian coordinates associated with the spherical ones, i.e.,

The nonsmooth regularization of the Schwarzschild singularity at the origin r 0 is

version of the Schwarzschild line element in curvature coordinates. From equation (1.21),

262
263

the calculation of the distributional Einstein tensor proceeds in a straightforward manner. By


simple calculation it gives [12]:

Remark 1.10. Note that obviously Colombeau object, (1.26) is degenerate at

298

h 1 (r ) are positive outside of the black hole and negative in the interior. As a

consequence any smooth regularization of h(r ) (or h ) must pass through zero
somewhere and, additionally, this zero must converge to r rs as the regularization

In this paper we leave the neighborhood of the singularity at the origin and turn to the
singularity at the horizon. The question we are aiming at is the following: using distributional
geometry (thus without leaving Schwarzschild coordinates), is it possible to show that the
horizon singularity of the Schwarzschild metric is not merely a coordinate singularity. In order
to investigate this issue we calculate the distributional curvature at the horizon in
Schwarzschild coordinates.

The main focus of this work is a (nonlinear) superdistributional description of the


Schwarzschild spacetime. Although the nature of the Schwarzschild singularity is much
worse than the quasi-regular conical singularity, there are several distributional treatments in
the literature [8]-[29], mainly motivated by the following considerations: the physical
interpretation of the Schwarzschild metric is clear as long as we consider it merely as an
exterior (vacuum) solution of an extended (sufficiently large) massive spherically symmetric
body. Together with the interior solution it describes the entire spacetime. The concept of
point particles -- well understood in the context of linear field theories -- suggests a
mathematical idealization of the underlying physics: one would like to view the
Schwarzschild solution as defined on the entire spacetime and regard it as generated by a
point mass located at the origin and acting as the gravitational source.

323
324

This of course amounts to the question of whether one can reasonably ascribe distributional
curvature quantities to the Schwarzschild singularity at the horizon.

325
326

The emphasis of the present work lies on mathematical rigor. We derive the physically
expected result for the distributional energy momentum tensor of the Schwarzschild


T00 8m (3) ( x ) , in a conceptually satisfactory way. Additionally, we set up

327

geometry, i.e.,

328
329
330
331

a unified language to comment on the respective merits of some of the approaches taken so
far. In particular, we discuss questions of differentiable structure as well as smoothness and
degeneracy problems of the regularized metrics, and present possible refinements and
workarounds. These aims are accomplished using the framework of nonlinear

332
333

supergeneralized functions (supergeneralized Colombeau algebras GR , ). Examining


the Schwarzschild metric (1.12) in a neighborhood of the horizon, we see that, whereas

334

1
h(r ) is smooth, h 1 (r ) is not even L loc (note that the origin is now always excluded from

335

our considerations; the space we are working on is

336
337

Schwarzschild metric amounts to embedding h


into GR , (as done in (3.2)).
Obviously, (3.1) is degenerated at r 2m , because h(r ) is zero at the horizon. However,

338

this does not come as a surprise. Both

339

h(r ) and h 1 (r ) are positive outside of the black

hole and negative in the interior. As a consequence any (smooth) regularization h (r )

340

appropriate nonsmooth regularization (see section 3) we obtain an Colombeau generalized
object modeling the singular Schwarzschild metric above and below horizon, i.e.,

somewhere and, additionally, this vicinity

The paper is organized in the following way: in section II we discuss the conceptual as well
as the mathematical prerequisites. In particular we comment on geometrical matters
(differentiable structure, coordinate invariance) and recall the basic facts of nonlinear

superdistributional geometry in the context of algebras GM, of supergeneralized


functions. Moreover, we derive sensible nonsmooth regularizations of the singular functions
to be used throughout the paper. Section III is devoted to these approach to the problem.
We present a new conceptually satisfactory method to derive the main result. In this final
section III we investigate the horizon and describe its distributional curvature. Using
nonlinear superdistributional geometry and supergeneralized functions it seems possible to
show that the horizon singularity is not only a coordinate singularity without leaving
Schwarzschild coordinates.

consideration

above

follows

that

Schwarzschild

spacetime

is not extendible, in the sense that it can be immersed in a larger


spacetime whose manifold is not covered by the canonical Schwarzschild coordinate with
r 2m. Thus Eddington-Finkelstein spacetime cannot be considered as an extension of the
Schwarzschild spacetime in any rigorous mathematical sense in respect conventional
Lorentzian geometry. Such "extension" is the extension by abnormal definition and nothing
more.

475
476
477
478

Remark 1.16. From consideration above it follows that it is necessary a regularization of the
Eq. (1.34) and Eq. (1.37) on horizon. However, obviously only nonsmooth regularization via
horizon r 2m is possible. Under nonsmooth regularization (see section 3) Eq. (1.34) and
Eq. (1.37) takes the form

2. GENERALIZED COLOMBEAU CALCULUS

Within the classical distribution theory, distributions cannot be characterized by their point
values in any way similar to classical functions. On the other hand, there is a very natural
and direct way of obtaining the point values of the elements of Colombeau's algebra: points
are simply inserted into representatives. The objects so obtained are sequences of numbers,

where

with generalized coefficient functions. Many concepts of classical tensor analysis carry over
to the generalized setting [1]-[2], in particular Lie derivatives with respect to both classical
and generalized vector fields, Lie brackets, exterior algebra, etc. Moreover, generalized

detg ab of detg ab we have

K M m infpK |detg ab | m for all small enough. This notion captures

664
665

the intuitive idea of a generalized metric to be a sequence of classical metrics approaching a

666

singular limit in the following sense:

g ab is a generalized metric iff (on every relatively

669

V of M ) there exists a representative g ab of g ab such that for


fixed (small enough) g ab g ab (resp. g ab | V ) is a classical pseudoRiemannian metric and detg ab is invertible in the algebra of generalized functions. A

inverse metric g g ab is a well defined element of G 0 M (i.e., independent of

Within the classical distribution theory, distributions cannot be characterized by their point
values in any way similar to classical functions. On the other hand, there is a very natural
and direct way of obtaining the point values of the elements of Colombeau's algebra: points
are simply inserted into representatives. The objects so obtained are sequences of numbers,

Treating the elements of Colombeau algebras as a generalization of classical functions, the


question arises whether the definition of point values can be extended in such a way that
each element is characterized by its values. Such an extension is indeed possible.

to the generalized setting [], in particular Lie derivatives with respect to both classical and

following notion called strictly nonzero on compact sets: for any representative

detg ab of detg ab we have K M\ m infpK |detg ab | q for all

sequence of classical metrics approaching a singular limit in the following sense: g ab is a

2.3 Distributional general relativity


We briefly summarize the basics of distributional general relativity, as a preliminary to latter
discussion. In the classical theory of gravitation one is led to consider the Einstein field
equations which are, in general, quasilinear partial differential equations involving second
order derivatives for the metric tensor. Hence, continuity of the first fundamental form is
expected and at most, discontinuities in the second fundamental form, the coordinate
independent statements appropriate to consider 3-surfaces of discontinuity in the spacetime
manifolfd of General Relativity.

822

In standard general relativity, the space-time is assumed to be a four-dimensional

823

differentiable manifold

824

, 0, 1, 2, 3 .

825

At

each

1, 1, 1, 1 , by choosing the coordinate system

X ; 0, 1, 2, 3 appropriately.

In superdistributional general relativity the space-time is assumed to be a four-dimensional

differentiable manifold M\, where

geometry (thus without leaving Schwarzschild coordinates), is it possible to show that the
horizon singularity of the Schwarzschild metric is not merely only a coordinate singularity. In
order to investigate this issue we calculate the distributional curvature at horizon in

942

Schwarzschild coordinates. In the usual Schwarzschild coordinates

943
944

t, r, , , r 2m
the Schwarzschild metric (1.12) takes the form above horizon r 2m and below horizon

h r, h r1 h r, and h r 1 as an element of D 3 and embed it into


G 3 by replacements above horizon r 2m and below horizon r 2m

Remark 3.2. Note that, accordingly, we have fixed the differentiable structure of the

with the spherical Schwarzschild coordinates in (3.1) are extended on

4. QUANTUM SCALAR FIELD IN CURVED DISTRIBUTIONAL SPACETIME


4.1 Canonical quantization in curved distributional spacetime
Much of formalism can be explained with Colombeau generalized scalar field. The basic
concepts and methods extend straightforwardly to distributional tensor and distributional
spinor fields. To being with let's take a spacetime of arbitrary dimension

D, with a metric

This bracket is called the generalized Klein-Gordon inner product, and

and satisfy the KG equation (4.2), hence the value of the integral in (4.7) is
independent of the spacelike surface over which it is evaluated, provided the functions
vanish at spatial infinity. The generalized KG inner product satisfies the relations

, , , 0, 1.

4. 9

1336

We define now the annihilation operator associated with a complex Colombeau solution

1337

by the bracket of with the generalized field operator :

1338

a , .

1339
1340
1341
1342

It follows from the hermiticity of

4. 10

that the hermitian conjugate of a is given by

a a .

1343
1344
1345

4. 11

From Eq. (4.5) and CCR (4.6) one obtains

1346

a , a , .

1347
1348
1349

4. 12

Note that from Eq. (4.11) follows

a satisfy the commutation relation a , a 1. Suppose now that |

1355

1356

|n, 1/n!a n |

1353

Note that if

a | 1, then for each n, the state

is a normalized eigenstate of the number operator

1358

N a a with eigenvalue n. The span of all these states defines a


Fock space of the distributional - wavepacket n -particle excitations above the state

1359
1360

|. If we want to construct the full Hilbert space of the field theory in curved distributional
spacetime, how can we proceed? We should find a decomposition of the space of complex

1361

Colombeau solutions to the wave equation (4.2)

1362
1363

subspace S p and its complex conjugate S p , such that all brackets between solutions from
the two subspaces vanish. That is, we must find a direct sum decomposition:

1357

S into a direct sum of a positive norm

1364

S S p S p

1365
1366
1367

4. 14

such that

1368

1371

and

4. 15

, 0, , S p .

1372
1373

4. 16

1374
1375

The condition (4.15) implies that each in S p can be scaled to define its own
harmonic oscillator sub-albegra. The second condition implies, according to (4.13), that the

1376
1377

annihilators and creators for


themselves:

a , a a , a 0.

1378
1379
1380
1381

and in the subspace S p commute amongst


4. 17

Given such a decompostion a total Hilbert space H for the field theory can be defined as the
space of finite norm sums of possibly infinitely many states of the form

a 1, . . . a n, |0 ,

1382
1383

4. 18

|0 is a state such that a n, |0 0 for all in S p . The state |0, as in


classical case, is called a Fock vacuum and Hilbert space, H is called a Fock space. The

1384

where

1385
1386
1387

representation of the field operator on this Fock space is hermitian and satisfies the
canonical commutation relations in sense of Colombeau generalized function.

1428

r r ln at the horizon, i.e. as r r , but its behavior at infinity

is strongly dependent on the cosmological constant: r r for asymptotically-

flat spacetimes, and

r r finite Colombeau constant for the SAdS

geometry.

1430
1431
1432

4.2.1. Boundary conditions at the horizon of the distributional SAdS BH geometry

1433

For most spacetimes of interest the potential

V r r 0 as r r , i.e.

1435

t, r ~expit r r , as r~r .

1436
1437
1438
1439

Note that classically nothing should leave the horizon and thus classically only ingoing
modes (corresponding to a plus sign) should be present, i.e.

t,r ~expit r r , as r~r .

1440
1441
1442

4. 27

Note that for non-extremal spacetimes, the tortoise coordinate tends to

1 , the vacuum fluctuations of the field should overcome any other
scales determined by
classical source of energy, therefore taking control over the evolution of the background
geometry through the semiclassical Einstein equations (in which T , is included as a
source term for the distributional Einstein tensor). We are then confronted with a startling
situation where the quantum fluctuations of a field, whose energy is usually negligible in
comparison with classical energy components, are forced by the distributional background
spacetime to play a dominant role. We are still left with the task of showing that there exist
indeed well-behaved distributional background spacetimes in which the operator

,out V ,out x possesses negative eigenvalues 2 0, condition on which

1541
1542

depends Eq (5.9). Experience from quantum mechanics tells us that this typically occurs

when V ,out gets sufficiently negative over a sufficiently large region. It is easy to see
from Eq. (5.3) that, except for very special geometries (as the flat one), one can generally

find appropriate values of R which make V ,out as negative as would be necessary

imposed global boundary conditions on the distributional Green function Colombeau solution
of (6.2), the expansion (6.17) does not determine the particular vacuum state in (6.1). In

1657

particular, the " i " in the expansion of G x, x only ensures that (6.17) represents the
expectation value, in some set of states, of a time-ordered product of fields. Under some

circumstances the use of " i " in the exact representation (6.14) may give additional
information concerning the global nature of the states.

To discover the structure of W , let us return to first principles, recalling the Colombeau
path-integral quantization procedure such as developed in []. Our notation will imply a
treatment for the scalar field, but the formal manipulations are identical for fields of higher
spins. Note that the generating functional

6. 21

1691

even in the absence of source currents J. Hence (6.19) will no longer apply. Path-integral

1692

quantization still works in curved distributional spacetime; one simply treats

1693

(6.19) as the curved distributional spacetime matter action, and

1694
1695
1696

S m in

J x as a current
density (a scalar density in the case of scalar fields). One can thus set J = 0 in (6.19) and
examine the variation of Z 0 :

Z 0 i D S m expiS m ; iout ,0|S m |0, in .

Special interest attaches to field theories in distributional spacetime in which the classical

S g x,

6. 52

1838
1839

and it is clear that if the classical action is invariant under the conformal transformations
(6.50), then the classical stress-tensor is traceless. Because conformal transformations are

1840
1841
1842

essentially a rescaling of lengths at each spacetime point x, the presence of a mass and
hence a fixed length scale in the theory will always break the conformal invariance.
Therefore we are led to the massless limit of the regularization and renormalization

1843
1844

procedures used in the previous section. Although all the higher order j 2 terms in the
DeWitt-Schwinger expansion of the effective Lagrangian (6.45) are infrared divergent at

1846

n 4 as m 0, we can still use this expansion to yield the ultraviolet divergent terms
arising from j 0, 1, and 2 in the four-dimensional case. We may put m 0

1847

immediately in the

1848

for

1845

1849

j 0 and 1 terms in the expansion, because they are of positive power

n 4. These terms therefore vanish. The only nonvanishing potentially ultraviolet

7. COMCLUSIONS AND REMARKS

1890
1891
1892

In this paper essentially new class Colombeau solutions to Einstein field equations is
obtained. We have shown that a successful approach for dealing with curvature tensor
valued distribution is to first impose admissible the nondegeneracy conditions on the metric

1893
1894

tensor, and then take its derivatives in the sense of classical distributions in
space.

1895
1896

The distributional meaning is then equivalent to the junction condition formalism. Afterwards,
through appropriate limiting procedures, it is then possible to obtain well behaved

1897
1898
1899
1900

distributional tensors with support on submanifolds of d 3, as we have shown for the


energy-momentum tensors associated with the Schwarzschild spacetimes. The above
procedure provides us with what is expected on physical grounds. However, it should be
mentioned that the use of new supergeneralized functions (supergeneralized Colombeau

1901
1902

algebras GR , ) in order to obtain superdistributional curvatures, may renders a more


rigorous setting for discussing situations like the ones considered in this paper.

The vacuum energy density of free scalar quantum field with a distributional background
spacetime also is considered. It has been widely believed that, except in very extreme
situations, the influence of gravity on quantum fields should amount to just small, subdominant contributions. Here we argue that this belief is false by showing that there exist
well-behaved spacetime evolutions where the vacuum energy density of free quantum fields
is forced, by the very same background distributional spacetime such BHs, to become
dominant over any classical energy density component. This semiclassical gravity effect
finds its roots in the singular behavior of quantum fields on curved spacetimes. In particular

1911

we obtain that the vacuum fluctuations

This paper dealing with an extension of the Einstein field equations using apparatus of
contemporary generalization of the classical Lorentzian geometry named in literature
Colombeau distributional geometry, see for example [1]-[2], [5]-[7] and [14]-[15]. The
regularizations of singularities present in some solutions of the Einstein equations is an
important part of this approach. Any singularities present in some solutions of the Einstein
equations recognized only in the sense of Colombeau generalized functions [1]-[2] and not
classically.

2 has a singular behavior on BHs horizon r :

2 r~|r r | 2 . We argue that this vacuum dominance may bear important


astrophysical implications.
