Quantum Fields in Curved Space N. D. Birrell, P. C. W. Davies
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Black hole evaporation is an effect of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. Gravitation: the medium of exchange is the metric of space-time itself. Boundary divergences in vacuum self-energies and quantum field theory in curved spacetime. Gravitons are virtual excitations of the curvature of space-time, treated as a quantum mechanical field. Jacobson Introduction to Quantum Fields in Curved Spacetime and the Hawking Effect - 2004). Us that “facts” are very fluid in nature and “verification” is a matter of recordable duplication of observable phenmomena (see: T.

For more information about the spin connection in the language of quantum field theory, Bertlemann's “Anomalies in Quantum Field Theory” seems very comprehensive. Obviously space is part of spacetime and so the effect of the curvature of spacetime is usually (but not always) that we can no longer think of space as being flat (mathematically speaking). It's not a quantum gravitational effect, that's the exact reason why it's been dissected since decades. The fancy new piece of machinery (by then an old hat for string theorists and a really old hat for relativists) was the spin connection which allows us to connect the flat-space formalism for spinors to curved spaces.
