Course Term: Trinity
Course Lecture Information: 16 lectures
Course Weight: 1
Course Overview:
16 lectures
Areas: PT, Astro.
This course builds on both the first courses in quantum field theory and general relativity. The second course in GR and a course on differential geometry will be helpful, but are not essential. It will focus on
classical aspects of fields in curved space-time, global structure and black hole thermodynamics and then on quantum fields on curved backgrounds.

Learning Outcomes:
Students will be able to formulate classical and quantum field theories in curved space-time including an understanding of global features.
