Quantum Fields in Curved Space N. D. Birrell, P. C. W. Davies
Publisher: Cambridge University Press




As a postdoctoral fellow at Cambridge University, he worked with Stephen Hawking in cosmology, quantum field theory in curved space time and quantum theories of gravitation. Aspects of QFT in curved space-time book download. According to the UA physicist, the curvature of space is what makes gravitational mass different from inertial mass. Download Aspects of QFT in curved space-time. His monograph on Quantum Fields in Curved Space, remains a seminal text in the field of quantum gravity. Red oval (1/c = 0, vanishing slowness of light): theories ignoring relativistic effects, blue circle (h = 0, vanishing quanta): theories ignoring quantum effects, green circle (G = 0, vanishing gravity): theories ignoring spacetime curvature. - Guillemin and Sternberg (1990), Symplectic Techniques in Physics. There is an entire field of study dedicated to the development of quantum field theories in general relativistic -- including time dependent -- backgrounds, called Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime. For light scalar fields, perturbation theory is plagued by infrared divergences which require resummation techniques. 1:29 And All said, Behold, we rule the quantum field, which is upon the face of all the universe, and every piece of space and time, yet we fail to understand how the quantum bends space and time. Quantum Field Theory In Curved Spacetime - Department of Physics at UF S.A. Davies has published over 100 research papers in the fields of black holes, cosmology, and quantum field theory in curved spacetime. Peter: Have you by any chance read this paper by Robert Wald “The Formulation of Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime.” http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.0416 ? Bratteli and Robinson (2003), Operator Algebras and Quantum Statistical Mechanics. Topics discussed here include: a comparison with Euclidean quantum field theory, supersymmetry and general relativity. - Wald (1994), Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime.
