dc.description.abstractThe problem of the backreaction resulting from particle creation by black holes is examined from several vantage points. We first focus attention on the occurrence of the Berry phase in certain situations. This gives some insight into the geometry of quantum mechanics. Then we turn our attention to the analysis of quantum fields in black hole spacetimes. This brings us to the renormalisation of the stress- tensor via analytic methods. Finally, we draw on recent results to show how the Berry phase comes into play.en_ZA
