Cosmological applications of algebraic quantum field theory in curved spacetimes / Thomas-Paul Hack.
This book provides a largely self-contained and broadly accessible exposition on two cosmological applications of algebraic quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetime: a fundamental analysis of the cosmological evolution according to the Standard Model of Cosmology; and a fundamental study of th...
