Part of the method involves matching the modes for the in vacuum state to a complete set of modes in Schwarzschild spacetime. The other part involves subtracting from the unrenormalized expression for the stress-energy tensor when the field is in the in vacuum state, the corresponding expression when the field is in the Unruh state and adding to this the renormalized stress-energy tensor for the field in the Unruh state. The method is shown to work in the two-dimensional case where the results are known. %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.102.125035 %U https://arxiv.org/abs/2009.03453 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.102.125035 %P 125035-26pp
