Quantum Fields in Curved Space

N. D. Birrell, +1 more
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the subject of gravitational effects in quantum field theory can be found in this paper, where special emphasis is given to the Hawking black hole evaporation effect, and to particle creation processes in the early universe.

Quantum Field Theory in de Sitter Space: Renormalization by Point Splitting

TL;DR: A renormalization ansatz based on the DeWitt-Schwinger expansion is proposed, and it is shown that this removes all am biguities previously present in pointsplitting regularization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scalar production in Schwarzschild and Rindler metrics

TL;DR: In this paper, the Rindler coordinate system in flat space-time is applied to demonstrate the creation of massless particles by black holes and the result is that an observer who undergoes a uniform acceleration kappa apparently sees a fixed surface radiate with a temperature of kappa /2 pi.
Journal ArticleDOI

Radiation from a moving mirror in two-dimensional space-time conformal anomaly

TL;DR: The energy-momentum tensor is calculated in the two dimensional quantum theory of a massless scalar field influenced by the motion of a perfectly reflecting boundary (mirror) as discussed by the authors.
