Semiclassical and Stochastic Gravity: Quantum Field Effects on Curved SpacetimeThe two pillars of modern physics are general relativity and quantum field theory, the former describes the large scale structure and dynamics of space time, the latter, the microscopic constituents of matter. Combining the two yields quantum field theory in curved space time, which is needed to understand quantum field processes in the early universe and black holes, such as the well known Hawking effect. This book examines the effects of quantum
