Abstract: (Springer)
We study the expectation value of the operator in maximally symmetric spacetimes. We define an diffeomorphism invariant biscalar whose coinciding limit gives the expectation value of the operator. We show that this biscalar is a constant in flat spacetime, which reproduces Zamolodchikov’s result in 2004. For spacetimes with non-zero curvature, we show that this is no longer true and the expectation value of the operator depends on both the one- and two-point functions of the stress-energy tensor.Note:
