After a review of conformal symmetry, this chapter covers the quantisation of fields in curved space-times. It is shown that field operators defined with respect to different vacua are related by a Bogolyubov transformation and that the mixing of positive and negative frequencies determines the amount of particle production. The Unruh effect is explained and it is shown that in a space-time with an event horizon, a thermal spectrum of particles is created close to the horizon.
