Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime
read the original abstract
These lectures deal with selected aspects of quantum field theory in curved spacetime including the following topics: (1) Quantization of fields on a curved background, particle creation by gravitational fields, particle creation in an expanding universe; moving mirror radiation. (2) The Hawking effect - particle creation by black holes. (3) Ultraviolet and infrared divergences, renormalization of the expectation value of the stress tensor; global symmetry breaking in curved spacetime. (4) Negative energy in quantum field theory, its gravitational effects, and inequalities which limit negative energy densities and fluxes. (5) The semiclassical theory of gravity and its limitations, breakdown of this theory due to metric fluctuations, lightcone fluctuations.

A Quantum Singularity Theorem for the Evaporating Black Hole
A new singularity theorem establishes that evaporating black holes in semiclassical gravity are singular under weaker causality assumptions and the Generalized Second Law.

What spectators do during inflation
Radiative corrections from spectator fields cause the inflaton to evolve as an exponential of N_e squared during slow-roll inflation, unlike linear friction approximations, while producing spectator particles whose to...

What spectators do during inflation
Spectator-field backreaction during slow-roll inflation changes the inflaton by a factor e^{Υ N_e²}, not the e^{Γ N_e} a local friction term would give.

Emergent Hawking Radiation and Quantum Sensing in a Quenched Chiral Spin Chain
A quenched chiral spin chain produces analog Hawking radiation with non-Planckian spectrum but Poissonian statistics, detectable by a weakly coupled qubit sensor that reveals the horizon-induced temperature.

Different types of torsion and their effect on the dynamics of fields
In VEP formalism the off-shell spin connection admits a one-parameter family of conformal transformations interpolating between Nieh-Yan and conformally invariant torsion; dynamically generated torsion lacks well-defi...

Particle Physics in Curved Spacetime and Dark Matter
Review of results claiming that the semiclassical energy-momentum tensor of the neutrino flavor vacuum in QFT on curved spacetime acts as dust-like dark matter and supplies a Yukawa correction that can produce flat ga...
