Applied Quantum Gravity: Applications of the Semiclassical Theory
Chapter
Abstract
For many purposes it is sufficient to treat the Einstein gravitational field classically, while quantizing the other particle fields. One can generally handle the infinities arising from the curvature of spacetime in such a theory, and come out with definite results. Such results have a fairly wide range of applicability, including the strong gravitational fields that exist near black holes and in the very early universe.
