Description

The fact that the renormalized energy density smeared along a timelike curve on a globally hyperbolic spacetime possesses a lower bound stimulates the pursuit of an explicit construction of a state whose energy is minimal. Such a task was completed for Robertson-Walker spacetimes and these states were named States of Low Energy. In this communication we construct such states for more general spacetimes and show which obstacles prevent a completely general construction.
