Next (and last) lecture will take place on May 28, usual time
Thursdays from 10.15 to 13.00 at BSP 727
The course will address several topics in the modern theory of gravity and cosmology, which involve in an essential way the quantum properties of fundamental fields.
Approximate list of topics to be covered:
1) Gravity as a theory of helicity-2 massless particles
1a) Emission of soft quanta in electrodynamics and gravity
1b) Derivation of Einstein equations from the consistency requirements
2) Quantum fields in curved space-time
2a) Hawking radiation of black holes and the information paradox
2b) Production of particles in an expanding universe
3) The theory of cosmic inflation
3a) Production of primordial gravitational waves and density perturbations in the slow-roll model
3b) Extensions of the simplest model: effective theory of inflation
3c) Statistical properties of the primordial spectra
Required prior knowledge:
Foundations of quantum field theory and general relativity
