This book presents a comprehensive review of the subject of gravitational effects in quantum
field theory. Although the treatment is general, special emphasis is given to the Hawking …

This article discusses the intimate relationship between quantum mechanics, information
theory, and relativity theory. Taken together these are the foundations of present-day …

We study the topology of the thermodynamic space of four dimensional dyonic anti–de Sitter
(AdS) black hole in three different ensembles: canonical, mixed, and grand canonical …

We study the topology of black hole thermodynamics in four-, five-, and seven-dimensional
R-charged black holes. While the 4D R-charged black hole possesses four charges, the 5D …

ROBERT K. ADAIR, Yale University Here is a comprehensive, easy-to-understand account
of the revolution in modern physics. It explains the discoveries that have changed the way …

In this work, we propose a common vector field to study the thermodynamic topology of the
Davies type and Hawking-Page phase transitions. Existing literature has shown that …

This is a comprehensive account of a particular recent development concerning the thermal
character inherent in the quantum field as viewed from a uniformly accelerated frame of …

Bringing together the key ideas from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and powerful
methodology from quantum field theory, this 2008 book captures the essence of …

This is the first of a series of papers which describe the functional-integral approach to the
study of the statistical and kinetic properties of nonequilibrium quantum fields in flat and …

Black holes appear to conform to a very straightforward generalisation of standard
laboratory thermodynamics. This generalised theory is examined in detail, and some …
