These notes introduce the subject of quantum field theory in curved spacetime and some of its applications and the questions they raise. Topics include particle creation in time-dependent metrics, quantum origin of primordial perturbations, Hawking effect, the trans-Planckian question, and Hawking radiation on a lattice.

  1. Full S-matrices and Witten diagrams with (relative) L-infinity algebras

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Cyclic relative L-infinity algebras encode the full S-matrix, including its trivial part, and reproduce Witten diagrams including CFT two-point functions.

  2. Black hole thermodynamics at null infinity. Part 1: Dual Generalized Second Law

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    At future null infinity, the generalized second law for a Schwarzschild black hole becomes the monotonic decrease of a free energy, or grand potential, constructed from the Bondi mass and angular-mode chemical potentials.
