在这本书中，罗伯特·沃尔德提供了在弯曲时空中量子场论公式的教学介绍。他从处理普通的一维量子谐振子开始，通过在平坦时空中构建量子场论，发展到在弯曲时空中可能构建量子场论，并最终得到该理论的代数表述。在他的演讲中，Wald将理论的基本特征与无关紧要的特征（如粒子解释）分开，并澄清了理论表述的各种方法之间的关系。他还提供了一个全面的，最新的安鲁效应，霍金效应，以及它的一些分支的叙述。特别是，黑洞热力学的主题，这仍然是一个活跃的研究领域，是深入处理。这本书的目的是为学生和研究人员谁已经在广义相对论和量子场论的入门课程，并应感兴趣的科学家在广义相对论和相关领域。
In this book, Robert Wald provides a pedagogical introduction to the formulation of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. He begins with a treatment of the ordinary one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator, progresses through the construction of quantum field theory in flat spacetime to possible constructions of quantum field theory in curved spacetime, and, ultimately, to an algebraic formulation of the theory. In his presentation, Wald disentangles essential features of the theory from inessential ones (such as a particle interpretation) and clarifies relationships between various approaches to the formulation of the theory. He also provides a comprehensive, up-to-date account of the Unruh effect, the Hawking effect, and some of its ramifications. In particular, the subject of black hole thermodynamics, which remains an active area of research, is treated in depth. This book is intended for students and researchers who have had introductory courses in general relativity and quantum field theory, and should be of interest to scientists in general relativity and related fields.
