This book, first published in 2007, is an introductory textbook on quantum field theory in gravitational backgrounds intended for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in the fields of theoretical astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, and string theory. The book covers the basic (but essential) material of quantization of fields in an expanding universe and quantum fluctuations in inflationary spacetime. It also contains a detailed explanation of the Casimir, Unruh, and Hawking effects, and introduces the method of effective action used for calculating the back-reaction of quantum systems on a classical external gravitational field. The broad scope of the material covered will ... Read more

Reviews for Introduction to Quantum Effects in Gravity
"... A groundbreaker in being an introductory text on quantum field theory in gravitational backgrounds, intended for undergraduate and beginning graduate students." Lewis H. Ryder, Mathematical Reviews "The treatment is clear throughout and the mathematical manipulations straightforward. This book is to be greatly recommended to anyone with an interest in contemporary theoretical cosmology; it is a most valuable ... Read more
