The massless conformally coupled scalar field is characterized by the so-called "new improved stress-energy tensor", which is capable of classically violating the null energy condition. When coupled to Einstein gravity we find a…

In this paper, we investigated the space-time obtained by quotients of the $AdS_4$ space-time. Further quotient with specific $\mathbb{Z}_2$ is considered. Taking up to the first-order perturbation in metric, we estimated the backreaction…
