Detailed explanation of quantum theory, black holes, and inflation. - Title: Quantum Theory Black Holes and Inflation - Author: Ian Moss - Publisher: Wiley - Contents: A detailed explanation of the relationship between quantum theory, black holes, and inflation in modern physics. One of the most interesting and rapidly developing fields in modern physics is the study of cosmic phenomena such as black holes, the cosmic microwave background radiation, and the inflationary epoch of the universe. Recent theoretical and experimental developments in these areas have significantly deepened our understanding of these exciting and important themes. To enable readers to fully understand these new developments, "Quantum Theory, Black Holes, and Inflation" begins with a mathematically rigorous introduction to quantum field theory. It focuses on the path integral approach to quantum field theory and develops the essential mathematical tools to understand how this theory has been applied to various fields of modern cosmology. The second half of "Quantum Theory, Black Holes, and Inflation" explains some of the most successful applications to date, such as the theory of black hole evaporation and thermodynamics, and the theory of quantum effects in inflationary models of the universe. Quantum theory, black holes, and inflation will be of great interest to anyone involved in these vibrant research fields. By combining mathematical background with the most successful modern applications of the theory, it is understandable and interesting not only for graduate students but also for experienced researchers in this field. #Books #Nature/Physics
