In the framework of conformal field theory, the mapping from (unbounded) wedge regions of Minkowski space time to (bounded) double-cone regions is extended to the Unruh temperature associated to a uniformly accelerated observer. The link between a previous result, the diamond's temperature, and the conformal factor (Weyl rescaling of the metric) is worked out.

Abstract
In the framework of conformal field theory, the mapping from (unbounded) wedge regions of Minkowski space time to (bounded) double-cone regions is extended to the Unruh temperature associated to a uniformly accelerated observer. The link between a previous result, the diamond's temperature, and the conformal factor (Weyl rescaling of the metric) is worked out. One thus explains from a mathematical point of view why an observer with finite lifetime experiences the vacuum as a thermal state whatever his acceleration, even vanishing.File in questo prodotto:
