Quantum Fields in Curved Space
- N. D. Birrell, P. Davies
- Physics
- 1 April 1984
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…
The Wave Equation on a Curved Space–Time
- P. Davies
- Mathematics
- 1 August 1976
F G Friedlander London: Cambridge University Press 1976 pp ix + 282 price £15 The continuing interest in general relativity has created the need for a book on the rigorous mathematical theory of wave…
The thermodynamic theory of black holes
- P. Davies
- PhysicsProceedings of the Royal Society of London. A…
- 21 April 1977
The thermodynamic theory underlying black hole processes is developed in detail and applied to model systems. I t is found that Kerr-Newman black holes undergo a phase transition at a = 0.68M or Q =…
Quantum Fields in Curved Space: Applications of renormalization techniques
- N. D. Birrell, P. Davies
- Physics
- 1982
Thermodynamics of black holes
- P. Davies
- Physics
- 1 August 1978
Black holes appear to conform to a very straightforward generalisation of standard laboratory thermodynamics. This generalised theory is examined in detail, and some concrete results are presented.…
Quantum Fields in Curved Space: Quantum field theory in curved spacetime
- N. D. Birrell, P. Davies
- Physics
- 1982
Scalar production in Schwarzschild and Rindler metrics
- P. Davies
- Physics
- 1 April 1975
The procedure used recently by Hawking (1975) to demonstrate the creation of massless particles by black holes is applied to the Rindler coordinate system in flat space-time. The result is that an…
Schrodinger's Machines: The Quantum Technology Reshaping Everyday Life
- G. Milburn, P. Davies
- Art, Physics
- 15 April 1997
Perhaps the most successful scientific theory in history, quantum mechanics has already ushered in the information age with inventions like the transistor and the laser. In Schrodinger's Machines,…
Thermodynamic phase transitions of Kerr-Newman black holes in de Sitter space
- P. Davies
- Physics
- 1 December 1989
A curious feature of black holes which rotate and/or carry electric charge is that as the rotation and/or charge is increased the black hole undergoes a second-order phase transition in which its…
