| Abstract | The incorporation of gravity into quantum physics is still an essentially open problem. Quantum field theory under the influence of an external gravitational field, on the other side, is by now well understood. I is remarkable that, nevertheless, its consistent treatment required a careful revision of traditional quantum field theory in the spirit of algebraic quantum field theory. Moreover, it allows a background independent perturbative construction of quantum gravity as an effective theory. |
