I have put together a whole page of references on this topic. The paper is here.Īlso useful is Veltman’s Les Houches lectures from the same period:įeynman’s Acta Physica Polonica article Quantum Theory of Gravitation is very entertaining and enlightening to read. they use the (x,y,z,ict) convention)īut they are the definitive treatment of the quantization procedure. It takes a bit to get used to their conventions (i.e. Vasselivich – Heat Kernel Expansion – a user’s manualįor the quantization of GR section, the classic paper is that of This classic paper uses the background field method and the heat kernel similar to the way we will treat general relativity. Here are two appendices from Dynamics of the Standard Model that contains material related to the field theory techniques that I will be teaching:Īppendix B – Advanced field theory methodsĪlso Gasser and Leutwyler chiral perturbation theory. The weak field limit is covered in most GR books. The weak field limit and tree level Feynman rules This course starts with material that is basically from Weinberg’s Chapter 12. Peshkin and Schroeder’s An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory is a classic. Matt Schwartz’s new QFT book Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model is very good. I will prepare some of the advanced QFT material using this. On the field theory side, my favorite resource is Dynamics of the Standard Model (2nd edition) by Donoghue, Golowich and Holstein.

(Note that the draft for this book is available for free on Winitzki’s web page.) And of course there are the classics by Bryce DeWitt which contain so much good physics – The Global Approach to Quantum Field Theory and Dynamical Theory of Groups and Fields. Introduction to Quantum Effects in Gravity. Also there is an impressive book by Mukhanov and Winitzki. A more modern version is by Parker and Toms Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime. The original was by Birrell and Davies Quantum Fields in Curved Space. There are books on QFT in curved spacetime. Gasperini’s Theory of Gravitational Interactions to be very useful. Padmanabhan’s Gravitation is nice and I have found M. Perhaps a coconut shell.) which reads very well for self-study. Some of the other GR books that have some field theory sensibility include Tony Zee’s GR in a Nutshell (some nutshell! It is huge.

Steven Weinberg’s Gravitation and Cosmology book is one that many particle physicists like – and I am partial to it because I learned GR from it. Here are sources that I have found useful in constructing this course. There is not a single book that matches the content of this course.

I will update a file containing many of the conventions of the course. I am now keeping some of the class information on this page.
