Phys. Rev. D 50, R6031–R6032 (1994)Note on Hartle-Hawking vacua
The purpose of this Rapid Communication is to establish the basic properties—regularity at the horizon, time independence, and thermality—of the generalized Hartle-Hawking vacua defined in static spacetimes with a bifurcate Killing horizon admitting a regular Euclidean section. These states, for free or interacting fields, are defined by a Euclidean functional integral on half the Euclidean section. The emphasis is on generality, and the arguments are simple but formal. © 1994 The American Physical Society URL:
