Delta N Formalism in Hawking Radiation Cosmological Perturbation Theory From Astrophysical Black Holes to by Ali Akbar Abolhasani (Sharif University of Analogous Systems in Lab Technology, Iran), Hassan Firouzjahi (Institute by Francesco D Belgiorno (Politecnico di for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM), Milano, Italy), Sergio L Cacciatori (Universitàdegli Iran), Atsushi Naruko (Tohoku University, Japan) Studi dell’Insubria, Italy) & Daniele Faccio & Misao Sasaki (Kyoto University, Japan) (Heriot-Watt University, UK)

Cosmological perturbation theory is the basic This book provides the reader with a guide to tool to study the perturbations generated from Hawking radiation through a dual approach inflation. There are a few different approaches to the problem. After an introductory chapter to primordial cosmological perturbations. In the conventional containing some basic knowledge about black holes and quantum approach one perturbs the field equations and after quantizing the field theory in curved spacetime, the first part of the book consists perturbations by the use of the corresponding action, one calculates in a survey of methods for deriving and studying Hawking radiation the power spectrum of cosmological observables. This approach from astrophysical black holes, from the original calculation by S W extends to higher order perturbations such as bispectrum etc., but Hawking to the most recent contributions involving tunneling and the analysis becomes increasingly difficult. gravitational anomalies. In the second part, we introduce analogue The delta N formalism, the topic of this book, is an alternative gravity, and we focus our attention to dielectric black hole systems, approach. The novelty of this approach is that, under the condition to which the studies of the present authors are devoted.

The Most Famous Lecture Notes from Harvard University by Sidney Coleman Lectures of Sidney Coleman on Quantum Field Theory Foreword by David Kaiser edited by Bryan Gin-ge Chen (Leiden University, Netherlands), David Derbes (University of Chicago, USA), David Griffiths (Reed College, USA), Brian Hill (Saint Mary’s College of California, USA), Richard Sohn (Kronos, Inc., Lowell, USA) & Yuan-Sen Ting (Harvard)

“Sidney Coleman was the master teacher of quantum field theory. All of us who knew him became his students and disciples. Sidney’s legendary course remains fresh and bracing, because he chose his topics with a sure feel for the essential, and treated them with elegant economy.” Frank Wilczek Nobel Laureate in Physics 2004

“When stumped on some physics, I often still ask myself, even after nearly forty years, ‘What would Sidney say?’ His lectures and their transcriptions were models of clarity and charm. The subjects remain crucial to frontier physics. This volume is a treasure.” Hugh David Politzer Nobel Laureate in Physics 2004

“Ah, quantum field theory: through Coleman’s eyes we watch a 1000pp Nov 2018 victory parade that made ‘the spectator gasp with awe and laugh with joy’!” 978-981-4635-50-9(pbk) Anthony Zee US$88 / £75 University of California, Santa Barbara 978-981-4632-53-9 “It may seem strange to refer to a book on Quantum Field Theory US$168 / £150 as ‘fun’ — but this book is fun. The reader not only sees important physics and math, but also gets to appreciate a Master Teacher at 42 work. It is wonderful to have these lectures written down so that they can be pored over and savored multiple times. David Politzer said it best in the acknowledgment in his Nobel-Prize-winning thesis “Sidney Coleman’s course on quantum field theory was one of the on asymptotic freedom. ‘To Sidney Coleman my teacher and advisor, most memorable and enjoyable experiences of my physics education. who with his cleverness and cunning, conned me into thinking that Uniquely meticulous and insightful, these notes from his lectures good physics is simple, I am forever indebted ... Thanks to him, my will be invaluable to anyone interested in the cornerstone topic of understanding of field theory has never been so clear, but sometimes modern physics.” my head feels funny.’” Sean Carroll Howard Georgi Caltech Harvard “Sidney Coleman’s Field Theory lectures at Harvard were a staple of every particle physicist Harvard graduate student’s education ... the ideas — like all good physics concepts — have survived the decades • Based on Coleman's own handwritten notes, two sets of notes from beautifully.
