The two central sections of the book dealing with these applications are preceded by sections providing a pedagogical introduction to the subject. Introductory material on the construction of linear QFTs on general curved spacetimes with and without gauge symmetry in the algebraic approach, physically meaningful quantum states on general curved spacetimes, and the backreaction of quantum fields in curved spacetimes via the semiclassical Einstein equation is also given. The reader should have a basic understanding of General Relativity and QFT on Minkowski spacetime, but no background in QFT on curved spacetimes or the algebraic approach to QFT is required.>.SpringerBriefs in Mathematical Physics,2197-1757 ;6Quantum field theoryString theoryMathematical physicsCosmologyQuantum Field Theories, String Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19048Mathematical Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000Cosmologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049Quantum field theory.String theory.Mathematical physics.Cosmology.Quantum Field Theories, String Theory.Mathematical Physics.Cosmology.530.143Hack Thomas-Paulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut803792MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254616903321Cosmological Applications of Algebraic Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetimes1805289UNINA
