DESCRIPTION:Dr Sergey Sibiryakov\nNext (and last) lecture will take place 
 on May 28\, usual time\nThursdays from 10.15 to 13.00 at BSP 727\nThe cour
 se will address several topics in the modern theory of gravity and cosmolo
 gy\, which involve in an essential way the quantum properties of fundament
 al fields.\nApproximate list of topics to be covered:\n1)  Gravity as a t
 heory of helicity-2 massless particles\n1a) Emission of soft quanta in ele
 ctrodynamics and gravity
\n1b) Derivation of Einstein equations from the
  consistency requirements\n2)  Quantum fields in curved space-time\n2a) H
 awking radiation of black holes and the information paradox\n2b) Productio
 n of particles in an expanding universe\n3)  The theory of cosmic inflati
 on\n3a) Production of primordial gravitational waves and density perturbat
 ions in the slow-roll model\n3b) Extensions of the simplest model: effecti
 ve theory of inflation\n3c) Statistical properties of the primordial spect
 ra\nRequired prior knowledge:\nFoundations of quantum field theory and gen
 eral relativity\n---------------------------------------------------------
