Quantum Fields in Curved Space
This book presents a comprehensive review of the subject of gravitational effects in quantum field theory. Although the treatment is general, special emphasis is given to the Hawking black hole…
Quantum Fields in Curved Space: Applications of renormalization techniques
Quantum Fields in Curved Space: Quantum field theory in curved spacetime
A practical handbook for software development
TLDR
The choices facing the system developer and the software development process are explained and systems design and production techniques are explained.
Quantum Fields in Curved Space: Conventions and abbreviations
Pre-emptive retransmission for communication over noisy channels
TLDR
An automatic repeat request (ARQ) scheme which pre-empts the need for the retransmission of data is described and numerical results show that, under a wide range of high error rate and/or long propagation delay conditions, considerable improvements in performance can be achieved with the scheme.
Massive particle production in anisotropic space-times
Using a perturbation expansion to second order in a quantity determining deviation from conformal invariance the authors obtain general expressions for the number and energy densities at late times…
On falling through a black hole into another universe
AMONG the exact solutions to Einstein's field equations of general relativity are those describing black holes which rotate and/or carry electric charge. These solutions are novel in that they may be…
The application of adiabatic regularization to calculations of cosmological interest

  • 16 June 1978
It is shown that the method of adiabatic regularization, proposed by Parker & Fulling for the removal of divergences in the vacuum expectation value of the stress tensor of a quantized field…
Conformal-symmetry breaking and cosmological particle creation in lambdaphi4 theory
We show that creation of field quanta can occur even in conformally trivial situations, contrary to popular belief. This conformal-symmetry breaking owes its existence to the so-called conformal…
