| 2. | Exploiting Zero Point Energy | | | A Scientific American article outlining the debate on whether an endless source of energy can be found using the zero point energy which appears in field theories. www.sciam.com |
| 4. | Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime | | | These lectures deal with selected aspects of quantum field theory in curved spacetime including the following topics: (1) Quantization of fields on a curved background, particle creation by gravitational fields, particle creation in an expanding universe; moving mirror radiation. (2) The Hawking effect - particle creation by black holes. (3) Ultraviolet and infrared divergences, renormalization of the expectation value of the stress tensor; global symmetry breaking in curved spacetime. (4) Negative energy in quantum field theory, its gravitational effects, and inequalities which limit negative energy densities and fluxes. (5) The semiclassical theory of gravity and its limitations, breakdown of this theory due to metric fluctuations, lightcone fluctuations. otokar.troja.mff.cuni.cz |

| 10. | Topics in Nonequilibrium Field Theory | | | Nonequilibrium field theory covers a variety of topics such as transport theory of quantum fields, nonequilibrium phase transitions, the nucleation and transport of topological defects and other nonlinear coherent structures, as well as fundamental issues such as the quantum-classical transition and the coherent control of quantum systems. Specific examples of current interest involving nonequilibrium dynamics of field theories include electroweak baryogenesis and topological transition rates, post-inflationary reheating in the early universe, and chiral condensates and evolution of the quark-gluon plasma in heavy-ion collisions. www.nersc.gov |
