Review text

The paper contains a set of lectures in quantum field theory with special emphasis put on topics relevant to general relativity and gravity. They cover path integral techniques and their applications in field theory, the notion of effective action and Schwinger's proper time method and quantum field theory in nontrivial backgrounds. The lectures are written in a pedagogical manner and seem to provide a nice introduction to the subject. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0878.00068].
