Any good resorces on quantum field theory in a spherical background? [duplicate]
I am considering canonical quantiziation of a free scalar field $\chi$ in a spherical background, which can be spacetime or another scalar background $\varphi$ that couples with $\chi$. In this case, ...

Can we define a quantum mechanical system on top of a classical GR spacetime? [duplicate]
I've heard my entire life that QM and GR are incompatible, but I don't exactly understand how. There are other questions about that general question, e.g. A list of inconveniences between quantum ...

How to implement a Hilbert space on a manifold?
It appears very intuitive to me that, just as a tangent space can be constructed on every point on the manifold, a Hilbert space should also be implementable as it is also a vector space. This would ...

Textbook on classical E&M in curved spacetime
Can anyone recommend a good reference for classical electrodynamics that goes over electrodynamics in curved spacetime that doesn't assume much knowledge of GR -- that is it builds up the tensor ...

In the Unruh effect, where does the energy of the particles come from?
If you accelerate an object with constant acceleration, you will in effect create a black hole in the opposite direction in which you are traveling.
This being due to light rays at a certain distance ...

Is there an established theory on statistical physics in curved spacetime?
I tried to check this in google scholar but didn't find a paper explicitly focused on this topic. Do anyone know of some references on this issue? I do not mean the thermodynamics in curved spacetime ...

How does the Unruh effect create particles?
I've read that the Rindler horizon cuts off access to fundamental quantum fields and leads to a mixing of positive and negative frequencies via the Bogoliubov transformations. But here is where I have ...

Understanding Maxwell's equations in a non-intertial frame
I'm trying to better understand "Maxwell's equations in a non-inertial frame" but a lot of the references I found (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1009.3968) are too advanced. What are the ...
