We study the massive scalar field Sorkin-Johnston (SJ) Wightman function restricted to a flat 2D causal diamond of linear dimension L. Our approach is two-pronged. In the first, we solve the central SJ eigenvalue problem explicitly in the small mass regime, upto order (mL)^4. This allows us to formally construct the SJ Wightman function up to this order. Using a combination of analytic and numerical methods, we obtain expressions for the SJ Wightman function both in the center and the corner of the diamond, to leading order. We find that in the center, it is more like the massless Minkowski Wightman function than the massive one, while in the corner it corresponds to that of the massive mirror. In the second part, in order to explore larger masses, we perform numerical simulations using a causal set approximated by a flat 2D causal diamond. We find that in the center of the diamond the causal set SJ Wightman function resembles the massless Minkowski Wightman function for small masses, as in the continuum, but beyond a critical value it resembles the massive Minkowski Wightman function as expected. Our calculations suggest that unlike the massive Minkowski vacuum, the SJ vacuum has a well-defined massless limit, which mimics the behavior of the Pauli Jordan function underlying the SJ construction. In the corner of the diamond, moreover, it agrees with the mirror vacuum for all masses, and not, as might be expected, with the Rindler vacuum.
The Pauli--Villars regularization procedure confirms and sharpens the conclusions reached previously by covariant point splitting. The divergences in the stress tensor of a quantized scalar field interacting with a static scalar potential are isolate
In this work, we investigate the quasinormal modes for a massive scalar field with a nonminimal coupling with gravity in the spacetime of a loop quantum black hole, known as the Self-Dual Black Hole. In this way, we have calculated the characteristic
We consider the model of hard dimers coupled to two-dimensional Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT) with all dimer types present and solve it exactly subject to a single restriction. Depending on the dimer weights there are, in addition to the usua

In this paper, we investigate the thermal effect on the Casimir energy associated with a massive scalar quantum field confined between two large parallel plates in a CPT-even, aether-like Lorentz-breaking scalar field theory. In order to do that we c
