Exact Unruh Effect for a Massive Scalar Field: Mass-Gap Suppression and the Boltzmann Misconception
- 1INDEPENDENT RESEARCHER
Abstract
Version 4.0 Update Notes:
This version incorporates significant refinements, terminological clarifications, and the addition of cross-references to the unified theoretical framework established in the companion paper (Pillar 6: The Hard Gap Criterion).
Key updates applied across the series:
Unified Framework Integration: Added explicit cross-references linking this specific physical regime (dephasing, Casimir, Unruh, or Bekenstein bounds) to the universal thermodynamic scaling and universality classes of gapped baths rigorously derived in Pillar 6.
Self-Sufficiency: Ensured that the manuscript is fully self-contained and mathematically independent, making it ready for direct submission to peer-reviewed journals without requiring the reader to consult prior papers.
Terminological and Physical Precision: Corrected minor conjectures (e.g., the exact 1/T1/T thermal scaling of the plateau threshold), refined physical terminology (e.g., specifying intermediate-time windows for gapped baths), and updated pedagogical framing to align perfectly with standard literature.
Bibliography: Updated the references to include the latest Zenodo DOIs for the complete six-paper series.
