Wald, Robert M.
Quantum field theory in curved spacetime and black hole thermodynamics Robert M. Wald. - Chicago University of Chicago Press 1994 - xiii, 205 p - Chicago lectures in physics .
Includes bibliographical references (p. 195-199) and indexes.
Introduction and overview
Quantum mechanical preliminaries
Quantum fields in flat spacetime
Quantum fields in curved spacetime
The Unruh effect
Classical black hole thermodynamics
The Hawking effect
Some basic definitions and constructions pertaining to Hilbert spaces
In this book, the author provides an introduction to the formulation of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. The main features of the theory and the relations between different approaches are clarified here along with the Unruh effect and the Hawking effect.
