Abstract | : |
We discuss new insight in quantum field theory perceived by accelerating observers. A new set of non-unitary `star-Hermitian' operators are introduced in the quantum field theory which allow evolution of pure states to mixed thermal states. We discuss thermalization in the accelerated observers frame, and in black hole space-times using this new formalism. |
