Strings in Curved Spacetimes
Progress on the physics of strings in curved spacetime are comprehensively reviewed. We start by showing through renormalization group arguments that a meaningful quantum theory of gravity must be finite and must include all particle physics. Then, we review classical and quantum string propagation in curved spacetimes.We start by the general expansion method proposed by de Vega and Sánchez in ...

متن کاملWave Propagation in Stochastic Spacetimes: Localization, Amplification and Particle Creation
Amplification and Particle Creation B. L. Hu and K. Shiokawa Department of Physics, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742, USA (umdpp 97-125, submitted to Phys. Rev. D on July 29, 1997) We study novel effects associated with electromagnetic wave propagation in a Robertson-Walker universe and the Schwarzschild spacetime with a small amount of metric stochasticity. We find that localizat...
متن کاملElectromagnetic fields in curved spacetimes
We study the evolution of electromagnetic fields in curved spacetimes and calculate the exact wave equations of the associated electric and magnetic components. Our analysis applies to a general spacetime, is fully covariant and isolates all the sources that affect the propagation of these waves. Among others, we explicitly show how the different parts of the gravitational field act as driving ...
متن کاملSuperstrings on Curved Spacetimes
In this lecture I summarize recent developments on strings propagating in curved spacetime. Exact conformal field theories that describe gravitational backgrounds such as black holes and more intricate gravitational singularities have been discovered and investigated at the classical and quantum level. These models are described by gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten models, or equivalently current algeb...
