The heat-kernel expansion and ζ-regularization techniques for quantum field theory and extended objects on curved space-times are reviewed. In particular, ultrastatic space-times …
We consider a general, classical theory of gravity with arbitrary matter fields in n dimensions, arising from a diffeomorphism-invariant Lagrangian L. We first show that L alwasy can be …
This book develops quantum field theory in curved spacetime in a pedagogical style, suitable for graduate students. The authors present detailed, physically motivated …
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 …
The unsatisfactory status of the interpretation of the wave function of the Universe in canonical quantum gravity is reviewed. The ''naive interpretation''obtained by …
Unifying topics that are scattered throughout the literature, this book offers a definitive review of mathematical aspects of quantization and quantum field theory. It presents both basic and …

We propose a generalization of the Haag-Kastler axioms for local observables to Lorentzian manifolds. The framework is intended to resolve ambiguities in the construction of quantum …
Abstract The Wheeler-DeWitt equation of vacuum geometrodynamics is turned into a Schrödinger equation by imposing the normal Gaussian coordinate conditions with …
We prove that, for a massive, scalar, quantum field in a wide class of static spacetimes, the two-point function< 0| φ (x) φ (y)+ φ (y) φ (x)| 0> has singularity structure of the Hadamard …
