Abstract

We consider a real massive free quantum scalar field with arbitrary curvature coupling on nn-dimensional anti-de Sitter space-time. We use Hadamard renormalization to find the vacuum expectation values of the quadratic field fluctuations and the stress-energy tensor, presenting explicit results for n=2n=2 to n=11n=11 inclusive.
