Gravitation: the medium of exchange is the metric of space-time itself. If the effective global curvature is Even assuming the existence of a realistic concept similar to the cosmological constant, in alternative approaches to quantum field theory [5] one can expect it to be generated only in the presence of standard matter. Gravitons are virtual excitations of the curvature of space-time, treated as a quantum mechanical field. But if you want to know things like the rate of radiation and the Temperature spectrum of what comes out, you need to do quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetime.

The theory describes space as a continuous, quantized, flexible 'field;' nowhere divided or divisible, but capable of discrete motions of compression and rebound. Black hole evaporation is an effect of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. It's not a quantum gravitational effect, that's the exact reason why it's been dissected since decades. Quantum Wave Theory proposes a new model of space. Goal of this review is to introduce the algebraic approach to quantum field theory on curved backgrounds. The Field Equations control the curvature of space-time and represent our theory of gravity, while the Yang-Mills and Dirac equations represent the theory of particle interactions on a quantum level. Based on a set of As quantum field theories possess infinitely many degrees of freedom, many unitarily inequivalent Hilbert space representations exist and the power of such approach is the ability to treat them all in a coherent manner. The question of the space curvature is a major one, but measuring it at large cosmological scales may be extremely difficult if the actual Universe is much larger than the observable one.
