Description
Summary:Quantum fields on a stationary space–time in a rotating Killing reference frame are considered. Finding solutions of wave equations in this frame is reduced to a fiducial problem on a static background. The rotation results in a gauge connection in a way similar to appearance of gauge fields in Kaluza–Klein models. Such a Kaluza–Klein method in theory of rotating quantum fields enables one to simplify computations and get a number of new results similar to those established for static backgrounds. In particular, we find with its help functional form of free energy at high temperatures. Applications of these results to quantum fields near rotating black holes are briefly discussed.
