Free and self-interacting scalar fields in the presence of conical singularities

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

Free and self-interacting scalar fields in the presence of conical singularities are analized in some detail. The role of such a kind of singularities on free and vacuum energy and also on the one-loop effective action is pointed out using ζ\zeta-function regularization and heat-kernel techniques.
