The Smeared Null Energy Condition
Abstract We propose a new bound on a weighted average of the null energy along a finite portion of a null geodesic: the Smeared Null Energy Condition (SNEC). We believe our bound is valid on scales small compared to the radius of curvature in any quantum field theory that is consistently coupled to...
