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 …

Recent cosmological observations suggest the existence of a positive cosmological constant
Λ with the magnitude Λ (Gℏ/c3)≈ 10− 123. This review discusses several aspects of the …

A bstract We describe an algebra of observables for a static patch in de Sitter space, with
operators gravitationally dressed to the worldline of an observer. The algebra is a von …

It is shown that the close connection between event horizons and thermodynamics which
has been found in the case of black holes can be extended to cosmological models with a …

The Einstein equations with a negative cosmological constant admit black hole solutions
which are asymptotic to anti-de Sitter space. Like black holes in asymptotically flat space …

Quantum gravity poses the problem of merging quantum mechanics and general relativity,
the two great conceptual revolutions in the physics of the twentieth century. The loop and …

This is the fourth, expanded edition of the comprehensive textbook published in 1990 on the
theory and applications of path integrals. It is the first book to explicitly solve path integrals of …

In this book, Robert Wald provides a coherent, pedagogical introduction to the formulation of
quantum field theory in curved spacetime. He begins with a treatment of the ordinary one …

Black hole solutions to Einstein's equations are examined in asymptotically flat N+ 1
dimensional space-times. First generalizations of Schwarzschild and Reissner-Nordstrøm …

We propose a dual non-perturbative description for maximally extended Schwarzschild Anti-
de-Sitter spacetimes. The description involves two copies of the conformal field theory …
