Abstract
Many theorems of mathematial relativity, including singularity and positive mass theorems, include the classical energy conditions among their hypotheses. However, matter described by quantum field theory can violate the classical energy conditions and indeed there is no lower bound to the energy density at a given point as the quantum state is varied. Do the classical theorems apply to quantised matter?
