Proceedings of a NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Quantum Mechanics in Curved Space-Time, Held in Erice, Sicily, Italy. 2-12 May, 1989
Description
A survey of the empirical aspects, the conceptual basis, and the related fundamental problems, as well as the astrophysical and cosmological applications of the title subject. Specific topics include accelerated particle detectors and the operational meaning of the particle concept in curved space-time; equivalence principle in the quantum domain; back reaction and renormalization problems; finite temperature effects and the laws of black hole thermodynamics in a very general case; mutual interaction between several quantum fields; and self-consistent cosmologies and realizations of the inflationary paradigm.
