Abstract: (Springer)
We consider the Klein-Gordon equation (m≧0) on the double Schwarzschild wedge of the Kruskal spacetime, and construct the Hartle-Hawking stateωH as a thermal state relative to the Boulware quantization. We prove that, on the double wedge,ωH is a pure state, and in the corresponding representation, the left- and right-wedgeC* algebras each have the Reeh-Schlieder property, while the corresponding von-Neumann algebras are typeIII1 factors which are dual to (i.e. commutants of) each other. We discuss the extent to which these properties may generalize to non-quasi-free field theories.
