Gravitational waves from a quantum field theory perspective

Gravitational waves from a quantum field theory perspective / Subhendra Mohanty.

This book treats the subject of gravitational waves (GWs) production in binary stars or black-holes and in the early universe, using tools of quantum field theory which are familiar to graduate students and researchers in particle physics. A special focus is given to the generation of templates of g...
