A pedagogical introduction to the Dirac equation for massive particles in Rindler space is presented. The spin connection coefficients are explicitly derived using techniques from general relativity. We then apply the Lagrange-Green identity to greatly simplify calculation of the inner products needed to normalize the states. Finally, the Bogolubov coefficients relating the Rindler and Minkowski modes are derived in an intuitive manner. These derivations are useful for students interested in learning about quantum field theory in a curved space-time.

  1. Enhancement and Suppression of Decay Rates in an Accelerated Fermionic Cavity Coupled to a Massive Field

    gr-qc 2025-10 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a uniformly accelerated fermionic cavity coupled to a light massive field, the predicted decay-rate ratio is Γ_acc/Γ_in = al/ln(1+al), a geometric enhancement of up to tens of percent; heavy fields instead give ex...
