Semiclassical and Stochastic Gravity: Quantum Field Effects on Curved Spacetime

by Enric Verdaguer, Bei-Lok B Hu, Bei-Lok B. Hu

The two pillars of modern physics are general relativity and quantum field theory, the former describes the large scale structure and dynamics of space-time, the latter, the microscopic constituents of matter. Combining the two yields quantum field theory in curved space-time, which is needed to understand quantum field processes in the early universe and black holes, such as the well-known Hawking effect. This book examines the effects of quantum...
