dc.descriptionIn a recent preprint, Krasnikov has claimed that to show that quantum energy inequalities (QEIs) are violated in curved spacetime situations, by considering the example of a free massless scalar field in two-dimensional de Sitter space. We show that this claim is incorrect, and based on misunderstandings of the nature of QEIs. We also prove, in general two-dimensional spacetimes, that flat spacetime QEIs give a good approximation to the curved spacetime results on sampling timescales short in comparison with natural geometric scales.
