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




The fancy new piece of machinery (by then an old hat for string theorists and a really old hat for relativists) was the spin connection which allows us to connect the flat-space formalism for spinors to curved spaces. Quantum field theory in curved space time. Since there is no complete quantum theory of gravity, they used an already well-accepted approach, called quantum field theory in curved space time(QUIETS). The noise kernel is the vacuum expectation value of the (operator-valued) stress-energy bitensor, which describes the fluctuations of quantum-matter fields in curved spacetimes. Quantum Wave Theory proposes a new model of space. Davies: Quantum Fields in Curved Space (Cambridge University Press, New York, 1986) Chap. This book introduces the quantum mechanics of particles that move in curved space by employing path integrals and then using them to compute anomalies in quantum field theories. He highlighted how gravitational force is replaced by a curving of space-time in Einstein's theory of General Relativity. The theory describes space as a continuous, quantized, flexible 'field;' nowhere divided or divisible, but capable of discrete motions of compression and rebound. Particle from quantum fields in curved space. The three microscopic forces arise from force-carrying particles in Quantum Field Theory. For more information about the spin connection in the language of quantum field theory, Bertlemann's “Anomalies in Quantum Field Theory” seems very comprehensive. Its also in the lecture series he gave, “Quantum FIeld Theory in Curved Spacetime and Black Hole Thermodyanmics”. I can't do the math, but I suspect that gravity waves from distant events are unlikely to penetrate spacetime that is locally curved by strong gravitational fields. A new improved criterion for the validity of First, we consider metric perturbations in a Minkowski spacetime, compute the two-point correlation functions of these perturbations and prove that Minkowski spacetime is a stable solution of semiclassical gravity. 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. First to show how to place fermion fields in the bulk. Nameless says: November 21, 2012 at 4:48 pm. Hu, Shih-Yuin Lin arXiv:hep-th/0411016. But if you want to know things like the rate of radiation and the Temperature spectrum of what comes out, you need to do quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetime.
