| dc.description.abstract | A peculiar prediction of quantum field theory in curved spacetime is that the existence of particles is observer dependent. This peculiarity is associated with the existence of a horizon, either the Rindler horizon due to the accelerating motion of an observer, which is the case of the Unruh effect, or the event horizon of a black hole, which is the case of the Hawking radiation. The Unruh effect predicts that an accelerating observer in the vacuum of flat spacetime will observe a thermal bath with temperature proportional to their acceleration. In this thesis, by means of the quantum field theoretic approach, we find the Unruh temperature in Rindler-AdS and rotating Rindler-AdS by calculating the expected number of particles in the AdS vacuum seen by Rindler observers. Our results for the Unruh temperatures confirm the temperatures obtained by dimensional analysis arguments in previous studies on the spacetime. | |
