| gr-qc/0308048 (August 2003) | | Introduction to Quantum Fields in Curved Spacetime and the Hawking Effect | | Ted Jacobson | | Received. 14 August 2003 Last updated. 09 April 2004 | | Abstract. These notes introduce the subject of quantum field theory in curved spacetime and some of its applications and the questions they raise. Topics include particle creation in time-dependent metrics, quantum origin of primordial perturbations, Hawking effect, the trans-Planckian question, and Hawking radiation on a lattice. | | Categories. gr-qc hep-th | | Comment. Based on lectures given at the CECS School on Quantum Gravity in Valdivia, Chile, January 2002, 59 pages, 5 figures; v2 improved explanation of use of analyticity in Hawking effect derivation; v3 typo fixed in Fig.2 |
