Abstract

For theoretical discussions of black-body radiation in a curved spacetime with n spatial dimensions, as envisaged in current superstring theories, one wants to know the n-dimensional generalisation of the main standard results. These are given, but only for zero curvature, namely the Planck distribution, the Wien displacement law and the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
